专业描述

Computational Physics is a rapidly growing and highly interdisciplinary research area. Carnegie Mellon features two main thrusts in Computational Physics: computer simulation and data mining/analysis. Researchers collaborate extensively with other departments at CMU such as Chemical Engineering, Computer Science, Materials Science, Mathematics and Statistics. It is possible to obtain a Masters Degree in one of these Departments while pursuing PhD studies in Physics. A close relationship with the Pittsburgh Supercomputer Center provides access to a superb team of professional computational scientists as well as ready access to the latest supercomputing hardware.
