centers across the United States. Ames Research Center is located in Silicon Valley. Ames is famous for its
wind tunnels and visualization techniques based on computational fluid dynamics using supercomputers.
Recently, the NASA Center for Excellence in IT was founded at Ames. The research program includes
automated systems (robotics), software engineering, numerical simulation, and human-centered computing.
