These new capabilities, to be largely created through CSE\u2019s efforts, allow for more accurate simulations and more advanced models in research areas such as bioinformatics and other health-related fields, he added.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EPanelist Jeffrey Skolnick, director of the Center for the Study of Systems Biology and another CSE joint appointment, echoed Sherrill\u2019s sentiments and discussed how the capabilities of the school could benefit biologists. \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECSE Professor Haesun Park, who also participated in the panel, said that, by making CSE into its own school, Georgia Tech has defined the model for other universities to emulate.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe event closed with a keynote address from David Keyes, dean of mathematical sciences and engineering at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003EOn Feb. 11, Georgia Tech\u2019s School of Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) celebrated its creation with the CSE Convocation. \u0026nbsp;\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOn Feb. 11, Georgia Tech\u2019s School of Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) celebrated its creation with the CSE Convocation. \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"On Feb. 11, Georgia Tech\u2019s School of Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) celebrated its creation with the CSE Convocation."}],"uid":"27445","created_gmt":"2011-02-25 13:32:40","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:08:18","author":"Amelia Pavlik","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2011-02-21T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2011-02-21T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"64636":{"id":"64636","type":"image","title":"School of Computational Science and Engineering Convocation","body":null,"created":"1449176753","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:05:53","changed":"1475894569","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:42:49","alt":"School of Computational Science and Engineering Convocation","file":{"fid":"192057","name":"11P1000-P35-002.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/11P1000-P35-002_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/11P1000-P35-002_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":2601571,"path_740":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/11P1000-P35-002_0.jpg?itok=GbIWATED"}}},"media_ids":["64636"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.cse.gatech.edu\/","title":"School of Computational Science and Engineering"}],"groups":[{"id":"1259","name":"Whistle"}],"categories":[{"id":"129","name":"Institute and Campus"}],"keywords":[{"id":"654","name":"College of Computing"},{"id":"4230","name":"convocation"},{"id":"166983","name":"School of Computational Science and Engineering"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:mterraza@cc.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EMike Terrazas\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ECollege of Computing\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
