Mission

CSCAMM is a major research center in Applied Mathematics and Scientific Computation within the University of Maryland, College Park. The center is one of the three sponsors of the department of mathematics's AMSC program. [1] The main mission of CSCAMM is to support and stimulate the interdisciplinary research activities using Applied Mathematics (in particular, scientific computation and mathematical modeling) as their main analysis, simulation, and computational tools. [2]

Background

The center was created in 2001 by the University of Maryland, College Park as a major research project. [3] Eitan Tadmor had been the center's first director from August 2002 to June 2016. Starting July 2016, Pierre-Emmanuel Jabin will be the center's second director. Agi Alipio is the center's director of administrative services. [4] Beside the research funding from the university, CSCAMM works as the major hub of the research network, KI-Net; [5] faculty members in CSCAMM receive funding from NSF, NIH, NOAA, and other research funding agencies. [6]

Programs

CSCAMM maintains an active visitors program and helps organize international workshops and conferences in Applied Mathematics and its applications. [7] During each school semester, CSCAMM also hosts weekly seminars which cover a wide range of mathematical subjects. [8]

People

There are eight faculty members working in CSCAMM: Radu Balan, Jacob Bedrossian, Kayo Ide, Pierre-Emmanuel Jabin, Doron Levy, Dionisios Margetis, Eitan Tadmor, and Da-Lin Zhang. There are two visiting professors: Gil Ariel and Gadi Fibich. The student office usually seats five graduate students who are sponsored and advised by faculty members of CSCAMM. Those five graduate students come from various graduate programs in the university, in particular the AMSC program. [9]

The Space Systems Laboratory (SSL) is part of the Aerospace Engineering Department and A. James Clark School of Engineering at the University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland. The Space Systems Laboratory is centered on the Neutral Buoyancy Research Facility, a 50-foot-diameter (15 m), 25-foot-deep (7.6 m) neutral buoyancy pool used to simulate the microgravity environment of space. The only such facility housed at a university, Maryland's neutral buoyancy tank is used for undergraduate and graduate research at the Space Systems Lab. Research in Space Systems emphasizes space robotics, human factors, applications of artificial intelligence and the underlying fundamentals of space simulation. There are currently five robots being tested, including Ranger, a four-armed satellite servicing robot, and SCAMP, a six-degree of freedom free-flying underwater camera platform. Ranger was funded by NASA starting in 1992, and was to be a technological demonstration of orbital satellite servicing. NASA was never able to manifest it for launch and the program was defunded circa 2006. For example, Ranger development work at the SSL continues, albeit at a slower pace; Ranger was used to demonstrate robotic servicing techniques for NASA's proposed robotic Hubble Servicing Mission.
