The Institute for Advanced Computational Science at Stony Brook University was established in 2012 with a $20M private endowment. IACS Core faculty expertise spans chemistry, materials, astrophysics, atmospheric science, linguistics, ecology, sociology, applied mathematics, computer science, artificial intelligence and the arts. The Institute seeks to make sustained advances in the fundamental techniques of data, computation and in high-impact applications.
Our state-of-the-art facility is located next to the Laufer Center for Physical and Quantitative Biology. This space houses the Institute’s faculty, about 45 students/postdocs, and technical/administrative staff, and includes conference space and small meeting rooms to accommodate in-person and hybrid/virtual meetings. There is 10 Gigabit networking throughout the building (optical fiber within the building to major hubs across campus). The Institute provides to its members office space, office materials and supplies, administrative support, commonly used software packages including select compilers and libraries, technical assistance with computer administration and software installation, and use of the Institute’s computing clusters.
