Research

I lead the Cooperative Computing Lab, where my team creates software that allows people to easily harness hundreds to thousands of computers from clusters, clouds, and grids. Our software is used around the world to solve large scale problems in many fields of science and engineering. I am always looking for excellent students to join the CCL Team. To learn more, watch this movie, read my blog, or visit my research lab.
