2020 Conference Host

​

Housed within the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, the Institute for Applied Computational Science (IACS) trains graduate students to solve real-world problems and conduct innovative research using computational methods, including mathematical models, algorithms, systems innovations and statistical tools.  Since its inception, the IACS has been a focal point for interdisciplinary collaborations in computational science and data science at Harvard and in the surrounding Cambridge and Boston area communities.
