Scientific Computation Research Center

The Scientific Computation Research Center (SCOREC) is a focal point for cutting-edge development of advanced computational techniques.

The center's main goal is to develop reliable simulation technologies for engineers, scientists, medical professionals, and other practitioners. These advancements enable experts in their fields to employ, appraise, and evaluate the behavior of physical, chemical, and biological systems of interest. SCOREC scientists are developing multiscale modeling methods, adaptive simulation methods for reliable solutions, and computational technologies that provide an efficient and extensible software environment. They also are supporting simulation system construction and validation for application areas as they are developed.

The center's 14 core faculty represent six academic departments and include Rensselaer's chair of the biomedical engineering department, the dean of the School of Science, and several editors of distinguished journals. There are 10 researchers professionals and approximate 50 graduate students working in the center.
