Welcome to our Computational Science Seminar Series (CSSS). We have a very exciting series planned, one that represents a variety of computational science disciplines.

Kim Baldridge and Peter Arzberger, the program organizers, began the seminar series in 1999. As always, we are open to any suggestions for CSSS topics or general feedback that you might have. Everyone is welcome. We will have cookies and drink at each event.
