The Center for Scientific Computing and Visualization Research (CSCVR) at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth focuses on computationally-driven research and education that address the pressing needs of modern engineering, applied science, and workforce development. The mission of the CSCVR is to promote and conduct high-level interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research in scientific computing, and to mentor students of scientific computing in a supportive, broad and deep interdisciplinary research environment. The Center supports, facilitates and advertises the activities of the scientific computing group that is comprised of over 30 researchers from a variety of departments, including biology; chemistry; computer science; civil, electrical and mechanical engineering; fisheries; mathematics; and physics. The center also supports as many as 25 doctorate students working in different areas of computational science and engineering. The CSCVR affiliates develop and use computational algorithms to simulate complex physical problems.
