Leadership

Youssef Marzouk is a professor in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at MIT and co-director of the Center for Computational Science and Engineering. He is also a core member of the Statistics and Data Science Center and director of the Aerospace Computational Design Laboratory. His research interests lie at the intersection of computation and statistical inference with physical modeling. He develops new methodologies for uncertainty quantification, Bayesian modeling and computation, data assimilation, experimental design, and machine learning in complex physical systems. His methodological work is motivated by a wide variety of engineering and environmental applications. He is an avid coffee drinker and occasional classical pianist.

Nicolas Hadjiconstantinou is a professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and is co-director of the Center for Computational Science and Engineering. His research interests are focused in the kinetic transport for small-scale fluid flow and solid-state heat transfer applications, in the molecular and stochastic simulation of nanoscale transport phenomena and in the molecular and multiscale simulation method development.

Alan Edelman is an applied mathematics professor in the Department of Mathematics at MIT. He is also a member of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and leads the Julia Lab. His research includes high-performance computing, numerical computation, linear algebra, random matrix theory, and scientific machine learning. He is also chief scientist at Julia Computing. His computational thinking class has been widely viewed worldwide because of the unique way Julia combines computer science, mathematics, science, and engineering.
