Civil and Computational Engineering Centre Seminar Series
 |
 |
The Civil and Computational Engineering Research Centre operates a joint seminar series with the Computational Modelling cluster of the Wales Institute for Mathematical and Computational Sciences (WIMCS). The seminar series consist of a mixture of distinguished invited speakers and internal speakers from the Civil and Computational Research Centre. The theme of the seminar series is intended to be the development, analysis and application of computational techniques in engineering and applied science.
The seminar series complements the PhD seminars in which students within the Civil and Computational Engineering Centre are given the opportunity to present their work to colleagues and members of academic staff.
If you would like to find out further detials about these seminars, or are interested in giving a seminar yourself please contact Dr. P.D. Ledger.
