\noindent
\paragraph{Summary of Interests:}
Fox leads an significant
project to develop prototype high performance Fortran
compilers and their runtime support.  He is also a leading
proponent for the development of computational science as an academic
discipline and a scientific method. He has established at Syracuse
University both graduate and undergraduate programs which cover both
simulation and information technologies. All course have been made
available on the Web and his research includes HPCC technology to
support education at both K-12 and University level. His research on
parallel computing has focused on development and use of this
technology to solve large scale computational problems.  Fox directs
InfoMall, which is focused on accelerating the introduction of high
speed communications and parallel computing into New York State
industry and developing the corresponding software and systems
industry.
