Welcome!
The Computational Science & Engineering (CS&E) PhD program is an interdisciplinary program, meaning the faculty and courses for the program come from all the Colleges across the University.
The degree you seek will be challenging and give you opportunities to learn new skills, practices, and knowledge. The skills and knowledge will be the building blocks of starting a path of lifelong learning in the field of CS&E.
I encourage you all to interact with all your fellow students and faculty. Go beyond your comfort zone and work with different researchers (students, faculty, staff). You will have many opportunities to work in teams, reach up and pair with new students, and build your technical skills, team-work, and professional skills in the process. This is an opportunity to start building or expanding your professional network.
The faculty and staff are here to help you succeed. Ask questions, reach out for help. Don’t wait until the end of the semester if you need assistance.
This handbook is provided as a document to answer your basic questions. For more information, please refer to the CS&E website and reach out to your advisor or the CS&E director.
We wish you great success in the CS&E PhD Program.
Sincerely, Guy C. Hembroff, PhD
Director, Computational Science & Engineering Program
