News ArchivesDistinguished Lecture SeriesIn light of the growing interest and importance of network science and network research to the Penn State Research community, the Office of the Senior Vice President for Research is sponsoring this series. Prominent national experts are scheduled to present talks on campus throughout the academic year. The goal is to clarify the underlying principles in this intrinsically interdisciplinary research area and to bring the diverse community of Penn State researchers together around common themes to explore how their research might benefit from intellectual cross-fertilization.

A Conversation With Abhay Ashtekar, PhysicsPhysics Beyond Einstein: Contemplating Time's Beginning and End Challenges in Large-Scale Multiphysics SimulationsSpring 2008 Computer Science and Engineering Distinguished Lectures Computational simulation of multicomponent systems poses many critical challenges in science and engineering. We overview several algorithmic and software issues in developing high-performance simulation tools for such systems, based on our experience in developing a large-scale, fully-coupled code for detailed simulation of solid propellant rockets. Professor Michael T. Heath is Interim Head and Fulton Watson Copp Chair in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he is also Director of both the Computational Science and Engineering Program and the Center for Simulation of Advanced Rockets. His research interests are in numerical analysis—particularly numerical linear algebra and optimization—and in parallel computing. He is an ACM Fellow and a member of the European Academy of Sciences.
