CM⁴ at a glance

CM⁴ is a campus-wide center sponsored by the College of Science and Mathematics (COSAM) bringing together computational scientists from different colleges and departments. Our mission is to cultivate a collaborative and educational environment where students and faculty can address challenging problems and become familiar with modern computational tools and disciplines.

Amid the continuously increasing computational power and the powerful tools that become available to analyze immense amounts of data, theory and computation have become a cost-effective path to the exploration of the physical, chemical and biological realms. In this context, the concept of this center seeks to coalesce the efforts of different research groups dispersed on AU campus to establish an interdisciplinary space to advance the computational modeling of molecular systems and materials in different fields of science and engineering, promote the interaction between the different units across the University, and invigorate the education and training of undergraduate and graduate students in state-of-the-art computational techniques. As a result of these efforts, we expect that new collaborations in these fields will be formed, ranging from investigations of simple, yet technologically important molecules, to extended material systems pertinent to physicochemical and biological processes as well as quantum-chemical theory development, data, and computer sciences. Moreover, we anticipate that the visibility of our scholarly work will be raised and the success of our students in STEM disciplines will be enhanced.
