A Cornerstone of Scientific Discovery

Computer, Computational, and Statistical Sciences (CCS) is a problem-solving organization that works in four principal mission areas of the Laboratory:

• The Nuclear Weapons Program;
• Threat Reduction and Department of Homeland Security Programs;
• Basic science and technology research programs; and
• The Institutional Computing Program.

The division was formed to strengthen the visibility and impact of computer science and computational physics research on strategic directions for the Laboratory. Both computer science and computational science are now central to scientific discovery and innovation. They have become indispensable tools for all other scientific missions at the Laboratory. CCS forms a bridge between external partners and Laboratory programs, bringing new ideas and technologies to bear on today’s important problems and attracting high-quality technical staff members to the Laboratory.

Continuing Tradition of R&D Successes

Justin Tripp led a team from CCS that won a 2006 R&D 100 award for Trident. The Trident award is the latest in a series of CCS R&D 100 victories. CCS-1 had four projects nominated in 2006.
