This year, ThoughtWorks’ Engineering for Research organized the first Computational Science and Engineering Symposium. The forum hosted scientists and researchers from across scientific disciplines, alongside engineers and technologists to discuss and design solutions for computation challenges. We see this as the beginning of a computational-science community building exercise in Indian context. The Symposium delved into the three important trends that are disrupting the field of computational science: Data Deluge, Artificial Intelligence, and Complex Modeling and Simulation. -- Dr. Vidyadhar Mudkavi Director, Council of Scientific & Industrial Research – The CSIR Fourth Paradigm Institute, Bengaluru Outstanding scientist and Head of The CSIR Fourth Paradigm Institute, Bengaluru has a varied experience in the Aerospace domain with National Aerospace Laboratories. During his tenure at NAL, he worked on Aircraft Vortex problem, helicopter wakes vortex breakdown and mesoscale modeling and monsoon related predictions. He was instrumental in setting up 360 Teraflops High Performance Computing System for CSIR- India’s latest supercomputer at the time of commissioning. In a nutshell, his contributions can be summed up in the 4 areas: Modeling and Simulation, Atmospheric Flows, Flight Related Activities and High Performance Computing Initiatives. His Contributions to High Performance Computing (HPC) are many. While he has been instrumental in connecting NAL Belur Campus to C-MMACS campus through fiber for first time in 1996, he was also responsible and extensively involved in the implementation of CSIR facility that has resulted in installation of 360 Teraflops (Peak) system, then fastest in the country. He had played a major role in defining the Petascale system for CSIR. –– http://www.thoughtworks.com/
