ABSTRACT

Computational modeling of physiology is a multiscale, multidisciplinary field requiring a diverse set of skills and backgrounds. The Simula Summer School in Computational Physiology aims to teach graduate students from around the world practical methods for multiscale modeling of excitable tissues (specifically, the heart and brain). This joint summer school is collaboratively based on the complementary expertise and shared educational goals of three institutions: Simula Research Laboratory, the University of Oslo, and the University of California San Diego. The summer school’s core goal is to promote successful research collaboration among the host institutions and to train excellent computational researchers. Keys to the success of this type of school include sustainable funding, close mentorship, and innovative, adaptive teaching tools. Using a combination of lectures, hands-on programming modules, and real-world projects in small groups with experienced scientific mentors, this unique program is an immersive way for young scientists to develop skills and network with future peers from around the world.
