The increasing power of computers means that simulations can now help to understand and describe more complex processes than ever before. Computational science and engineering (CSE) is a cross disciplinary field with roots in mathematics and computer science and with an area of influence that spans the entire science and engineering spectrum.

In Academia and Industry, simulations enable the study of complex systems and phenomena that would be otherwise too expensive, dangerous, or impossible to study by direct experimentation. Imperial CMSE centre aims to fulfil the needs in this growing and evolving field that has become indispensable in modern science and engineering.
