Modeling and Simulation Group Meeting
The Modeling and Simulation Group (MSG) is a lunchtime gathering for both the students and faculty interested in modeling and simulation. Past meetings have included research presentations from internal or external speakers; tutorials on practical tools such as JAX and scientific visualization; brief research overviews by new faculty; and introductory discussions of broader topics, including machine learning and artificial intelligence in mathematics, data science, and quantum computing.
See here for the current Fall 2026 semester schedule (in WWH 1314).
