Programs in Computational Physics

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on recommendations for good programs in computational physics, particularly for someone with a background in aerospace engineering and interests in computational fluid dynamics, computational electromagnetics, applied mathematics, and high-performance computing. Several universities are highlighted, including the University of Southern California, Boston University, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, which offer strong programs in these fields. Additionally, Princeton's Program in Applied and Computational Mathematics and Stanford's Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering are suggested for those seeking a more mathematics-focused approach. The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) is mentioned as a reputable source for finding graduate programs in computational science, reinforcing the credibility of the institutions listed.

Hi all. This question has been asked previously on this forum but there was no reply I think. Which are the good programs for computational physics? I did (am doing) my Bachelor's and Master's in Aerospace Engineering from IIT Bombay. I got interested in CFD at first, but then my senior thesis is in Computational Electromagnetics. I am generally interested in Computational Physics, Applied Mathematics, High Performance Computing, etc.

Can someone suggest me good programs in above fields?

I'll bump this partially in hopes of seeing some answers myself.

Schools and programs I have been checking out for computational physics include: USC (http://cacs.usc.edu/) - they have a neat program where you can get a PhD in physics while earning an MS in computer science; BU (http://ccs.bu.edu/); Illinois: Urbana-Champaign (http://www.mcc.uiuc.edu/); as well as a couple specific groups at various schools, depending on research interests. For a more math-based approach, perhaps PACM at Princeton (http://www.pacm.princeton.edu/) or Stanford's iCME (http://icme.stanford.edu/).

Good luck!

Thanks both you guys.

One of the links I found myself:
"Graduate Programs in Computational Science" - http://www.siam.org/students/resources/cse_programs.php

If SIAM approves of those Institutions then you should feel better choosing anyone of those institutions as well. SIAM a trustworthy brand that publishes great books too.
 
TL;DR: Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics? Hi, I want to learn ultrafast optics and I am interested in condensed matter physics, ie using ultrafast optics in condensed matter systems. However, before I get onto ultrafast optics I need to improve my electrodynamics knowledge. Should I study Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics? My level at the moment is Griffiths. Given my interest in ultrafast optics in condensed matter, I am not sure which book is better suited for me. If...
