News & Events

Physics & Chemistry Research Community Awarded.

A proposal by Professors Acioli, Srinivas, and Fraiman, to establish a "Computation in the Physical Sciences" reserach community at NEIU has been awarded. This research community will offer targeted workshops to train participants in applying computational methods to study physical and chemical systems, and in particular molecular visualization and simulation. The target audience for these workshops are Physics, Chemistry and Biology majors and minors, but interested students are welcome to join. More information about these workshops can be found at the Research Community webpage.

Physics & Mathematics Research Community Awarded.

A proposal by Professors Anderson, Gidea, O'Hara, Sztainberg & Zeng to continue their Research Community at NEIU has been funded. The research community is centered around computational dynamics in physics and mathematics. As part of its mission, this research community sponsors the Mathematical Sciences Seminar. For more information please contact one of the faculty members above.
