What does the future of computational modeling hold for us, as scientists and as a society? The answers to this question will prove particularly noteworthy now that the federal government has made it a priority to build an exascale supercomputer within a decade through the National Strategic Computing Initiative. A collective effort towards deploying exascale computing resources to solve real-world biological and biomedical problems requires modelers to brainstorm about the opportunities that lay ahead.
This interdisciplinary symposium will host a group of junior and senior modelers to explore concepts, algorithms, and applications in fields such as Physics, Biophysics, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Computer Science, Biology, and Neurobiology.
