Flatiron Institute

Center for Computational Biology

• Launched in 2013 as the Simons Center for Data Analysis
• Director: Michael Shelley
• Mission: CCB's mission is to develop modeling tools and theory for understanding biological processes and to create computational frameworks that will enable the analysis of the large, complex data sets being generated by new experimental technologies.
• Research groups: Biophysical Modeling, Genomics, Neuroscience, Systems Biology

  Center for Computational Astrophysics

• Launched in 2016
• Director: David Spergel
• Mission: CCA's mission is to create new computational frameworks that allow scientists to analyze big astronomical datasets and to understand complex, multi-scale physics in a cosmological context.
• Research groups: Astronomical Data, Compact Objects, Cosmology X Data Science, Galaxy Formation, Gravitational Wave Astronomy, Planet Formation

  Center for Computational Quantum Physics

• Launched in 2017
• Director: Antoine Georges; co-director: Andrew Millis
• Mission: CCQ's mission is to develop the concepts, theories, algorithms and codes needed to solve the quantum many-body problem and use the solutions to predict the behavior of materials and molecules of scientific and technological interest.

  Center for Computational Mathematics

• Launched in 2018
• Director: Leslie Greengard
• Mission: CCM’s mission is to create new mathematical approaches, algorithms and software to advance scientific research in multiple disciplines, often in collaboration with other Flatiron Centers.
• Research groups: Image and Signal Processing, Machine Learning and Data Analysis, Numerical Analysis

  Scientific Computing Core

• Co-directors: Nick Carriero and Ian Fisk
• Mission: SCC's mission is to develop and deploy the computing infrastructure - including new computational and statistical methods and storage and data handling system support—necessary for carrying out the research missions of CCA, CCB, CCM and CCQ.
