Hariri Institute Holds Inaugural Symposium on April 21
Addressing importance of computational thinking
The head of the U.S. government agency spurring innovative energy research, Microsoft’s chief economist, and academic computer scientists will headline the first symposium of the Rafik B. Hariri Institute for Computing and Computational Science & Engineering.
The symposium, being held Saturday, April 21, at the Photonics Center, will stress the importance of computational thinking and analysis in not just physical sciences, but the social sciences and even the arts, says Win Treese, the institute’s associate director. Free and open to the public, the symposium is the first in a series of still-to-be-determined events that will be held by the Hariri Institute.
