Seminar Series: Simulation & Modeling

SAM presents a new seminar series, beginning January 2009, that will focus on successes and challenges in simulation and modeling.  Researchers (faculty, post-doctoral fellows, graduate and undergraduate students) of all disciplines are invited to attend. Speakers from a variety of subject areas will present.
