Members

The CSCAPES Institute is a collaborative effort among investigators from four universities and two national laboratories. As part of its committment to train the next generation of researchers in combinatorial scientific computing, the Institute also engages several post-doctoral, doctoral, and pre-doctoral students. Students at the academic institutions are given the opportunity to spend times at the national labs in the form of summer internships and other short term visits. In the current members list below, the name of the Co-PI in each institution is italicized.
