History
Organizers
SciFM was founded at the University of Michigan, where the Michigan Institute for Computational Discovery and Engineering (MICDE) organized and hosted the first two conferences in 2024 and 2025. It has since grown into a multi-institutional collaboration: the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory hosted #SciFM26, and Michigan's MICDE, College of Pharmacy, and Department of Physics organize #SciFM27.
