CSC Lab
At the CSC Lab, we focus on Combinatorial Scientific Computing, software for Computer Science and Engineering, and Numerical Linear Algebra.
CSC Lab in the news
As cities and towns expand, they creep ever farther into fields, forests and deserts that are home to a multitude of animals and plants. As these wild places are replaced by buildings, parking lots and highways, the species that live there are squeezed into ever-smaller habitats. But if there are still suitable connections between those areas — for example, a lush urban park, a golf course that includes stands of native trees, or even a railway line flanked with grasses—animals and plants can move from one habitat to another.
Where Mountain 'Lions Roam: Star-P Helps Decipher Threatened Wildlife Migration
"Researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) are harnessing supercomputers and electronic circuit theory to help save wildlife from ever-shrinking habitats in an emerging scientific field called computational ecology."
