What is Computational

Engineering Mathematics?

Computational Engineering Mathematicsis the development and application ofcomputational models and simulations tosolve complex physical problems arising inengineering analysis and design, as well asin other natural phenomena.

The development of the cell phone you use,our understanding of the Earth’s climate,and the weaponry advances of the U.S.Military could not have been accomplishedwithout CEM.

Speaker Profiles:Dr. Zannetti is President and Founder of EnviroCompConsulting, Inc. as well as the non-profit EnviroCompInstitute. He has performed studies and scientific re-search in environmental sciences for over four decades.He has written 300+ publications and 40+ books andbook chapters in the fields of atmospheric sciences andnumerical modeling. In addition, Dr. Zannetti has pro-vided testimony at depositions & trials in more than45 cases.

Dr. Balu has five advanced degrees including a Ph.D.in computational chemistry from the University ofMaryland. He leads a research team that has an in-tegrated approach combining mathematical and theo-retical physics to develop HPC based computational so-lutions for problems in quantum information sciences.The team develops solutions for problems in QIS incollaboration with academic faculty and industry part-ners. He is currently a program manager at the ArmyResearch Office.

Dr. Richardson is an Associate Teaching Professorat Penn State University in the Department of Geo-sciences. She obtained a Ph.D. from the MassachusettsInstitute of Technology in 2002. Her research inter-ests include earthquake processes, such as nucleation,stress-triggering, and rupture mechanics; fault dynam-ics and structures; rock deformation; seismology; andmining-induced seismicity. Since 2008, she has beenthe Lead Faculty Member, M.Ed. in the Earth Scienceprogram at Penn State.

Dr. Siopsis is a Professor of Physics at the Universityof Tennessee. He received a B.Sc. degree in Mathemat-ical Physics from the University of Sussex, England, in1982. He did his graduate work at the California Insti-tute of Technology, where he received an M.S. (1983)and a Ph.D. (1987) in Physics. After spending fouryears at Texas A&M University as a Research Asso-ciate, he joined the Department of Physics and Astron-omy at the University of Tennessee in 1991.

Dr. Bubenik is a Professor in the Department of Math-ematics at the University of Florida. He obtained aPh.D. at the University of Toronto in 2003 and com-pleted a postdoc at the Ecole Polytechnique Federalede Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland from 2003 to 2005.From 2005 to 2015, he was at Cleveland State Univer-sity, and since 2015, he has been at the University ofFlorida. His research is on applied topology and topo-logical data analysis.

Dr. Maroulas is a Professor of Mathematics at theUniversity of Tennessee and a Senior Research Fellowat the US Army Research Lab. His research portfoliois by nature interdisciplinary and focuses on computa-tional mathematics and statistics with applications oftheir theory in several engineering and scientific prob-lems. He develops mathematical data science methodsusing statistical learning, Bayesian statistics, computa-tional probability, stochastic modeling, topology, andgeometry.

Dr. Bourlai is an Associate Professor in the Schoolof Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Univer-sity of Georgia. He also serves as an Adjunct AssociateProfessor in the Lane Department of Computer Scienceand Engineering. He is the founder and director of theMulti-Spectral Imagery Lab. He is a reviewer of sev-eral premier journals and conferences in computer vi-sion, biometrics, and related areas. He has published3 books, has 3 patents, and about 120 journal & con-ference papers, book chapters, and magazine articles.

1LT Wilkins graduated from West Point in 2017 earn-ing a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematical Sciences andcommissioning as an Air Defense Artillery officer. Hisfirst Army assignment was as a graduate student atMIT where he earned a Master’s degree in MechanicalEngineering as a Draper Fellow. He is currently pursu-ing a Master’s degree in Computational Data Scienceat Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA wherehe is part of the inaugural class of Army Artificial In-telligence Scholars.
