I am a Professor in the CIS Department at the University of Oregon. I received my Ph.D. degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in October 1990. I joined the UO CIS faculty in 1991, spending my first year as a Fulbright Research Scholar and Visiting Professor at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. I received the NSF National Young Investigator award in 1994. In 1999, I was a Fulbright Research
Scholar to Austria, resident at the University of Vienna. In 2002, I was awarded the Alexander von Humboldt Research Award for Senior U.S. Scientists by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. I was promoted to Full Professor in 2004. In 2016 I was named as the Fulbright-Tocqueville Distinguished Chair to France, and in 2018, I
won the Fulbright for the Future award from the Franco-American Fulbright Commission. My areas of research interest include high-performance computing, parallel performance analysis and tools, and environments for computational/data science. I am the Director of Oregon Advanced Computing Institute for Science and Society (OACISS), an institute dedicated to advancing HPC in domain areas across the UO. Finally, I am the CEO of ParaTools, Inc, a company started in 2004 with my colleague, Dr. Sameer Shende, who is the ParaTools President. ParaTools consults in high-performance computing and performance tools.
