About Our TeamThe Computational Multiscale Department performs research and development in physics-based materials modeling and high-performance computing. We combine expertise across multiple ¿elds in support of NNSA and DOE missions. Our team brings together experts in density functional theory, molecular dynamics, direct simulation Monte Carlo, microstructure modeling, continuum mechanics, and scientific software development. We are well known for our LAMMPS molecular dynamics code and the FitSNAP machine learning interatomic potential software.
The Computational Sciences & Math group (1440) performs a spectrum of foundational research, software development, and applied science in the broadly defined computational science field. This includes research into scientific machine learning, computational methods and solvers, development of large-scale scientific software including pre-and post-processing (geometry, meshing, visualization) and multiscale, multiphysics application codes, algorithms and software for optimization and inverse problems, DevSecOps and User Experience (UX) research, and close partnerships that involve mission-driven analysis and application of our capabilities. We also support collaborations with the external computational science and math research community. The group consists of five departments: Scientific Machine Learning, Computational Multiscale, Computational & Applied Math, Enhanced Capabilities for ModSim, and Simulation Modeling Sciences.
Our team is committed to nurturing a culture compatible with a broad group of people and perspectives in accordance with the changing makeup of the workforce.
