The ACM seminar provides a regular venue for presenting and discussing topics such as numerical analysis, scientific computing, modeling, simulation and visualization. The seminar also hosts regular group meetings and special presentations associated with the NSF-funded RTG program Computation- and Data-Enabled Science (CADES).
Faculty, students and researchers are welcome to attend and present.
Meetings will be held in FHM 462, the large conference room in our department, unless specifically indicated otherwise. Starting in Fall 2025, the seminar meeting time will be Fridays at 10:30am.
Notification of upcoming presentations, including Zoom links when relevant, will be sent as calendar invitations to those on our mailing list. To subscribe, click here.
