The Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences is an interdisciplinary research unit and graduate program at The University of Texas at Austin dedicated to advancing computational science and engineering through a variety of programs and research centers.[1] The Institute currently supports 16 research centers, seven research groups and maintains the Computational Sciences, Engineering and Mathematics Program, a graduate degree program leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Computational Science, Engineering and Mathematics. The interdisciplinary programs underway at the Oden Institute involve 123 faculty representing 23 academic departments and five schools and colleges. Oden Institute faculty hold positions in the Cockrell School of Engineering, College of Natural Sciences, Jackson School of Geosciences, Dell Medical School and McCombs School of Business. The Institute also supports the Peter O'Donnell, Jr. Postdoctoral Fellowship program and a program for visiting scholars through the J. Tinsley Oden Faculty Fellowship Research Fund. Organizationally, the Oden Institute reports to the Vice President for Research.

Research centers and groups

The Oden Institute supports 23 research centers and research groups.[2] Each center and group is organized around a research topic and is directed by an Oden Institute faculty member.
