Center for Computational Science

New Computational Ideas & Methodologies

Founded in 1990, the Center for Computational Science (CCS) connects BU computational scientists to support collaborations across departments and colleges. Enabling the cross-fertilization of new computational ideas and methodologies, the CCS serves as a conduit for collaborations between experimental researchers who are synthesizing and collecting real-world data and computational researchers and expertise in model building, simulation, and analysis.
