Below are titles for seminars by our interdisciplinary team of researcher’s at UNT center of excellence in modeling and simulation, CASCaM. Talks can be tailored for audiences of all levels and are interdisciplinary in nature. If you are interested in a speaker, contact him/her directly to arrange a mutually agreeable seminar date, but it is appreciated if you would also notify me () or the CASCaM administrative assistant (). We will pay for speaker’s travel costs; local expenses paid by inviting institution.
