There are those who think of summer as a time for vacation and leisure activity, but the summer term is when many faculty pull out the stops for research, collaboration, programming, lectures and more. Here is a highlight of what some of the Scientific Computing faculty accomplished this summer.

A Florida State University researcher has received a $1 million, five-year grant from the U.S. Department of Energy for a study that could lead to the design of better nuclear fuels and safer and more efficient reactors to generate nuclear power.
Anter El-Azab, an associate professor in the Department of Scientific Computing, and his Computational Materials Science Group at Florida State will conduct research as part of a new $10 million EFRC Center for Materials Science of Nuclear Fuels. The Department of Energy established the EFRC, or Energy Frontiers Research Centers, program in an effort to spur breakthroughs in fundamental energy science.
The Department of Scientific Computing will sponsor a MATLAB seminar on Thursday, May 28, 2009 from 9:00am to 11:30am at 499 Dirac Science Library. Speeding Up MATLAB Applications is a free workshop open to all.
The 4th Graduate Student Research Xposition was held Tuesday, April 14, 2009. Previous Xpositions were held bi-annually, but with the acceleration of interdisciplinary computational research and the maturation of the DSC graduate programs, the event has been recast as an annual occurrence.
