System Science and Engineering People Faculty & Staff 
Terrie Bordelon -- CCT
Steven Brandt, Ph.D. -- CCT Steven Brandt obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana for his research in numerical simulations of rotating black holes. After obtaining his Ph.D. and doing some postdoctoral work, he joined industry where he gained experience in corporate programming environments. In 2005 he joined CCT and has been looking into ways to improve programming tools and environments for parallel environments, managing allocations and maintenance on Supermike, and in rekindling his research efforts in numerical relativity.
Maciej Brodowicz, Ph.D. -- CCT Maciej Brodowicz received M.S.E.E. from the Warsaw University of Technology (Poland) in 1991, M.S. in Computer Science from University of Houston in 1994 and Ph.D. in Computer Science from University of Houston in 1998. He was employed at the California Institute of Technology as a postdoctoral scholar and later promoted to the research staff position. At Caltech, he was involved in a Scalable I/O framework developing I/O algorithms for the ASC program, investigated scalability of parallel applications on supercomputers, and, in collaboration with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, designed micro-architecture and a hardware emulator for the MIND implementation of the Processor-In-Memory concept. Maciej's research interests at CCT include advanced computer architecture, parallel execution models, architectural and fuctional simulation, performance monitoring and prediction, scalable I/O subsystems and strategies, parallel application development and frameworks, and operating and runtime systems.
Chirag Dekate -- CCT Chirag Dekate earned his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Computer Science from Louisiana State University. He is currently a PhD Candidate in Computer Science. Chirag’s research interests include Machine Intelligence, Distributed Systems, Transformation of Information and Knowledge representation.
 Hartmut Kaiser, Ph.D. -- CCT After 15+ interesting years that Hartmut spent working in industrial software development, he still tremendously enjoys working with modern software development technologies and techniques. His preferred field of interest is software development in the area of object-oriented and component-based programming in C++ and its application in complex contexts, such as for spatial information systems, distributed and Grid based applications and parser technologies. Hartmut got his MS in Computer Science from the Leningrad Electrotechnical University, Petersburg, Russia, in 1985, a Ph.D. and the habilitation in Computer Engineering, in 1988, both from the Technical University of Chemnitz, Germany. 
Alex Nagelberg -- CCT
Nauraj Pannu -- CCT Nauraj Pannu is currently an Undergraduate Computer Science Major with a minor in Business Administration. Working with Programatics as a Program Coordinator, Nauraj manages the documentation and management material for ParalleX and its respective projects. Nauraj also specializes in Web Development and is working on most of the websites for ParalleX.
Seung-Jong "Jay" Park, Ph.D. -- CCT and Computer Science Seung-Jong Park is an assistant professor at CCT and Computer Science. He received his Ph.D. in electrical and computer engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology. His research interests include developing protocols and simulators at transport and networking layers for wireless networks (such as cellular networks and sensor networks) and high speed optical networks. And his broad research interests are computer networking, mobile computing, and distributed systems. He leads LANet (LSU Advanced Networking) research group (homepage: http://www.cct.lsu.edu/lanet/). Recently, he received a NSF grant to develop a CRON (Cyberinfrastructure of Reconfigurable Optical Networks) for large scale scientific applications; and a grant from the Dept. of Defense to develop secure and reliable transport protocols for wireless sensor networks. 
Jagannathan "Ram" Ramunujam, Ph.D. -- CCT and Electrical Engineering Dr. Ramanujam is the John E. and Beatrice L. Ritter Distinguished Professor in the LSU department of electrical and computer engineering. His research interests include compiler optimizations for high-performance computing, computational science, computer architecture, embedded systems, and hardware synthesis and optimization. He received the National Science Foundation's Young Investigator Award in 1994. In addition, he has received the best paper awards at the 2003 International Conference on High Performance Computing (HiPC 2003) and the 2004 International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS 2004) for his work with others on compiler optimizations for quantum chemistry computations. 
Thomas Sterling, Ph.D. -- CCT and Computer Science Thomas Sterling, professor, joined the LSU faculty from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory where he was a principal scientist and the California Institute of Technology where he was a faculty associate. He received his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Dr. Sterling's research interests focus on system architecture for high performance computing for both ground based and autonomous mobile applications. He is developing the MIND processor in memory architecture based on ParalleX, an advanced message-driven split-transaction computing model for scalable low-power fault-tolerant operation. In addition, he is developing an ultra lightweight supervisor runtime kernel in support of MIND and other fine grain architectures (like CELL) and the Agincourt parallel programming language for high efficiency through intrinsics in support of latency hiding and low overhead synchronization for both conventional and innovative parallel computer architectures. Graduate Students 
Dylan Stark, currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Computer Science department at Louisiana State University. Already Dylan received a BS in Computer Science and a BS in Mathematics from LSU. His research interests include knowledge management with ontologies and high performance symbolic computing. 
Chris received a BS in Electrical Engineering from LSU in May 2003. He is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering under Dr. David Koppelman, researching control independence via out-of-order fetch. Since 2002, he has aided in teh development of PSE, a processor visualization tool. He began working for CCT to develop PURR, an application to monitor cluster usage at the job level. He is currently working in CCT under Dr. Thomas Sterling where he researches instruction set architecture and processor core architecture. 
Alex is a doctoral student of the Electrical Engineering Department (EE) of LSU since Summer 2006. That fall, he joined the Center for Computation and Technology(CCT), as a researcher under Professor Thomas Sterling with the ParalleX group. In Fall of 2007, he passed the reviews for the qualifier exam made him earn a Masters of Science in Electrical Engineering. In Summer of 2008, his Ph.D. plan of study was approved by the Graduate Committee, hence completing his required class work. Henceforth, Alex is preparing his subject proposal defense and plans to graduate in Summer of 2010, earning a Doctoral degree in Electrical Engineering. 
Undergraduate Students Philip is a freshman undergraduate at LSU working towards his bachelors in Computer Science. His involvement with the ParalleX group involves writing a chess program that the ParalleX execution model will be able to be tested with.
