Education: Ph.D. Computer Science University of York, United Kingdom, July 1994 Thesis title: “Extracting dataflow information for parallelizing Fortran nested loop kernels” B.S. Microelectronic Systems Engineering University of Manchester, United Kingdom, June 1990 First Class Honors Short Bio: Hi! My name is Edward. I am a research scientist with the Texas Advanced Computing Center at The University of Texas at Austin. I am broadly interested in the design and construction of new interfaces, algorithms, and system software for distributed/parallel scientific computing. I am an experimentalist (that does some theory), and therefore my research often results in software artifacts that are designed in collaboration with scientists, deployed in real environments, and evaluated for desirable properties such as usability, robustness, scalability and performance. I also enjoy interacting and mentoring students, so I teach undergraduate and graduate courses in the Department of Computer Sciences and the Division of Statistics and Scientific Computation. Prior to my current position, I was a senior member of technical staff at Platform Computing Corp, and a research scientist at the National University of Singapore. Here is my CV. My research is (has been) funded by IBM (2005 and 2006 Faculty Awards) and NSF (Awards #0721931, #0504077 and #0503697).
