Time: 15:00 - 15:20  

The Center for Biomedical Computing (CBC) was established by Hans Petter Langtangen in 2007, and was running for 10 years. The Center has been devoted to three research tasks; computational middleware, robust solvers, and applications to biomedical problems with potential for high clinical impact. These highly integrated topics represent a broad, a medium, and a specialized scope, respectively, of advancing the current state of computational science. The challenging applications being addressed have driven new developments in computational methodologies and scientific software. A key mission of the CBC has been to make these useful developments accessible to computational scientists and engineers at large through professional, open source software. In addition to a high volume of published books and scientific papers, CBC has taken a central role in the development of the FEniCS finite element software, and has released a number of other open source software packages ranging from statistical tools for uncertainty quantification to optimization software geared towards patient-specific modeling of heart mechanics.
