Princeton PICASso: Program in Integrative Information, Computer and Application Sciences

These graduate student-oriented seminars provide a forum to present and learn about computationally-oriented research occurring in many different disciplines. Interaction is encouraged with an emphasis on sharing ideas and obtaining feedback regarding issues arising at any stage of the computational pipeline, from applications through models and methods to scalable parallel and distributed computing, storage and visualization. To make these talks accessible to a multi-disciplinary audience of researchers, no prior knowledge of the specific discipline area will be assumed by the speakers.

ALL ARE WELCOME TO ATTEND!

Seminars begin at 12:30 p.m.

These seminars are partially supported by the Princeton Institute for Computational Science and Engineering (PICSciE)

This seminar series consists of three types of talks:

PICASso "Successes" Seminar

Leading researchers are invited to present special sessions about key "Successes of Computational Science" in their field; i.e., areas of success in the science that could not have been (or easily been) achieved without scalable computation.

PICSciE Colloquium

Leading researchers are invited to present accessible overviews of their work, or tutorials on specific methods.

PICASso Research Seminar

Graduate students, post-docs and young faculty present overviews of their research projects and/or tutorials on computational methods they are using.
