MICDE is pleased to announce the appointment of three new associate directors starting July 1, 2016: Karthik Duraisamy (Aerospace Engineering), Annette Ostling (Ecology and Environmental Biology) and Siqian Shen (Industrial and Operations Engineering). The associate directors, together with MICDE Director Krishna Garikipati and Assistant Director Mariana Carrasco-Teja, will work on initiatives to help MICDE achieve its goals. These include growing MICDE’s educational programs, the Ph.D in Scientific Computing and the Graduate Certificate in Computational Discovery & Engineering; assembling interdisciplinary research teams and helping them secure funding for their projects; engaging with industrial partners; and coordinating outreach activities.
Researchers across campus now have access to several new services to help them navigate the new tools and methodologies emerging for data-intensive and computational research.
As part of the U-M Data Science Initiative announced in fall 2015, Consulting for Statistics, Computing and Analytics Research (CSCAR) is offering new and expanded services, including guidance on:
“With Big Data and computational simulations playing an ever-larger role in research in a variety of fields, it’s increasingly important to provide researchers with a comprehensive ecosystem of support and services that address those methodologies,” said CSCAR Director Kerby Shedden.
As part of this significant expansion of its scope, the campuswide statistical consulting service CSCAR has been renamed Consulting for Statistics, Computing and Analytics Research. It was formerly known as the Center for Statistical Consultation and Research.
