History

In the late 1980s the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research realised the increasing importance of mathematical modelling and computer based simulations that were critical for understanding complex systems, which were used in a wide array of scientific research. Various fields that were previously thought to be purely observational and qualitative now needed the use of such technologies.

It was established in 1988 in the Belur Campus of the National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL), Bengaluru. The current Scientist-in-Charge of the centre is Dr. Vidyadhar Y Mudkavi

Academics

The institute offers opportunities of summer projects for B.E. / M.Sc. / M.Tech students twice a year.[1]
