Policy and decision making

The head of the subdepartment (currently Andre Lukas) is ultimately responsible for computing in Theoretical Physics.

Computing policy across the whole of the Physics Department is delegated by the Head of Department to the Standing Committee on Physics Computing. Our representative on that panel is currently John Magorrian; you may find it useful to contact him if you want some input there.

Within Theory itself, the head of subdepartment is usually advised by a Computing Committee that meets once per term. In addition to the head of subdepartment and the computing support staff, each academic group nominates members to sit on this panel.
