Welcome to the Meetings on Computations of Plasmas
Welcome to the 4DSpace Meetings on Computations. Let’s meet regularly and discuss computational methods and simulations of plasmas. Each meeting starts with a 15 to 60 minute informal presentation on some topic, followed by discussions. While the meetings are tailored towards the computational scientists, we invite everyone to attend and even present. Topics of presentations may range from methods and implementations to applications. We will maintain a schedule of presentations below that should be indicative of the contents and technical detail of the presentations.
Time: Every second Tuesday 13:30 - 14:30 (unless otherwise stated).
Events with invited speakers (bold) are open to a broader audience.
