Some previous research interests

• Parallel algorithms and software
  • The National HPCC Software Exchange
  • High Performance Fortran Applications
  • Terrain rendering
  • Random number generators
  • Connected component labeling and clustering
  • Graph coloring

• Applications of HPCC
  • Simulation of electrical power networks
  • Optimization and scheduling
  • Information on demand using the World Wide Web

• Computational physics
  • Monte Carlo simulations of spin models
  • Random surface models of quantum gravity
  • Optimization using simulated annealing
  • Visualization and graphics (e.g. for spin models and random surfaces)

• World Wide Web Information Servers
  Back in 1994 (pre-Netscape, before the Web went mainstream) I helped to set up WWW information servers for
  • NPAC
  • InfoMall, the NPAC technology transfer program

• Education
  I was involved in the following education programs and applications:
  • Research Experiences for Undergraduates in High Performance Computing and Communications
  • Computational Science Education programs and courses at Syracuse University
  • The Living Schoolbook project to use high performance computing and communications for K-12 education
  • Kids Web, a WWW digital library for schoolkids
  • The NPAC Visible Human project, which has developed a Java-based interface to digital images of the human body, so you can slice up a person in the comfort and safety of your own home, without all the mess that's usually involved in such activities
  • The Young Scholars Program for eighth grade schoolkids
