Programs in Computational Physics

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on recommended programs for Computational Physics, particularly for individuals with a background in Aerospace Engineering. Notable institutions mentioned include the University of Southern California (USC), Boston University (BU), and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, which offer interdisciplinary programs combining physics and computer science. Additionally, Princeton's Program in Applied and Computational Mathematics (PACM) and Stanford's Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering (iCME) are highlighted for their strong mathematical focus. The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) is referenced as a reputable source for validating these programs.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
  • Familiarity with Computational Electromagnetics
  • Knowledge of High Performance Computing (HPC)
  • Basic principles of Applied Mathematics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the PhD program at the University of Southern California (USC)
  • Explore the Graduate Programs in Computational Science listed by SIAM
  • Investigate the PACM program at Princeton University
  • Learn about Stanford's iCME and its curriculum offerings
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in aerospace engineering, computational physics, and applied mathematics seeking advanced educational opportunities in computational science and high-performance computing.

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?

Physics news on Phys.org
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.
