The Center for Simulational Physics is unique in its approach to the investigation of physical systems. Many fascinating physical phenomena defy analysis by traditional approaches, particularly near phase transitions and in strongly interacting many-body systems. The Center for Simulational Physics makes extensive use of state-of-the-art computers to develop and solve models that mimic observed behavior and incorporate theory. The result is a realistic description of the behavior of materials and phenomena that cannot otherwise be measured or observed in detail Save the Date: CSP Futures: A Symposium on Simulation at the Frontier will take place on Friday, November 6, 2026.With founding director David Landau approaching retirement and the department entering a bold new phase of growth, CSP Futures is designed to do something genuinely ambitious: to bring this community together — faculty, students, external scientific leaders, and supporters — to collectively define what the CSP becomes in the decade ahead. More information, including the program and registration details, will be posted here soon.
