The Center for Computational Relativity and Gravitation (CCRG) at Rochester Institute of Technology was launched in January 2007 with the primary mission to conduct research at the frontiers of gravitational physics, relativistic astrophysics and advanced computation. This includes the theoretical modeling, data analysis, experiments and observations of some of the most extreme phenomena in the Universe, where the strongest gravitational and magnetic fields, the very dense, relativistic, conditions of matter and radiation can only be studied through advanced modeling and simulation, large-scale computation and visualization.

Funded through several federal awards, our principal investigators participate in several collaborative research projects and consortia, and take part in numerous education and outreach activities.
