What Does a Computational Physicist Do?

[NeuroFuzzy]

I'm an undergraduate aiming for a physics major, and I love computer science and numerical algorithms. I'm wondering: What does a computational physicist do? Would a computational physicist be programming all day or solving equations all day?

I'm just kind of confused where the physics ends and the computer science begins, as far as careers go.

Depends if you do theoretical or experimental. I worked in a lab where we just processed live acoustic data (Fourier transforms an classification measures), but I've also worked in modeling where you do a lot of scratching on paper as well.

In both though, it's good to have your solutions on paper before you go to code
