Cutting-edge interdisciplinary research
Advancing the frontiers of computation for society’s big problems.
At the Oden Institute, we conduct interdisciplinary computing research that is advancing scientific discovery, driving engineering innovation and transforming the future of individualized medicine. Oden Institute research brings together foundational mathematical, statistical and computational elements with applications that cut across science, engineering, geosciences and medicine. We take pride in the depth and rigor of our research foundations in computation, as well as the broad scope of our research applications.
Cross-
Cutting
Research Areas
Computational science is underpinned by mathematical models and simulations that help us understand physical and natural systems. This approach is used across a broad range of fields — fostering new and transformative, cross-cutting research. Here are some current areas of transformation.
Strategic Priority Areas
Strategic priority areas are areas of opportunity where we are investing additional resources to grow and expand the Oden Institute's capabilities. In these areas we are hiring multiple new faculty members, launching new research efforts and Oden Institute centers, launching new educational programs, and establishing new strategic partnerships.
