About us

DTU Compute is Denmark's largest mathematics and computer science environment located at DTU Campus in Kongens Lyngby.

At DTU Compute, we bridge deep theoretical foundations with practical applications, transforming innovative ideas into products that benefit businesses and public institutions.

Our approach involves taking complex problems and challenges from various disciplines and elevating them into a virtual environment. Here, we create models, perform calculations, and run simulations. The insights and results from this work are then applied back in the real world, allowing us to address and solve a wide range of issues effectively.

All engineering students at DTU pass through our department as an integral part of their education. In addition, we train many engineers to become specialists in our specific areas of expertise. Alongside our students, we foster knowledge and innovation, contributing to the development of the society of the future.
We are unique as our combination of research in applied mathematics and computer science sets the agenda for what we can achieve in the future.
Jan Madsen Head of Department
