Professional Career Profiles

A computational scientist profile is well adapted to allow them become an essential component of decision-making and development cross-discipline teams where they can handle quantitative models, software, and visualization techniques to assist in problem solving using state-of-the-art structured methodologies. The careers of computational scientists are as diversified as the domains they apply their methods to. They are economists, financial analysts, computer animators, media developers, weather forecasters, public health managers, computational biologists, engineers mathematicians, and scientists. They work in both the private and public sectors: insurance companies, investment banks, engineering consulting firms, and management consulting firms. These institutions look for computational scientists to develop new models that provide better understanding and improved services for their clients. For those who pursue their doctoral work, career paths in education and research are also available as faculties in computer science, mathematics, science, business, and engineering departments at universities in the region and overseas.
