| Description: | Scott Klasky 111 College Place Syracuse University Syracuse, New York, 13244-4100 Home: (315) 652-3133 Work: (315) 443-1690 Research Interests For the last nine years I have designed several major computer codes in the areas of physics, computer science, and numerical analysis. My main areas of expertise are in designing large-scale codes in the area of computational science, and designing visualization software to support these codes. I have lead teams of researchers to develop state-of-the-art computer codes in the area of high performance scientific computing/physics. I have expertise in solving large scale Partial Differential Equations (PDE's), particularly for numerical relativity and financial modeling, using state-of-the-art techniques (Adaptive Mesh Refinement) as well as in designing collaborative visualization tools, to be used over the Internet. Experience Senior Research Scientist: 12/95 to present NPAC, Syracuse University, Syracuse Project Leader for five major computational research efforts: * Binary Black Hole Grand Challenge (http://www.npac.syr.edu/projects/bh/). Team leader of the "ADM team" to design accurate and stable three-dimensional black hole evolution codes. Management duties include software engineering, code development, code testing and leadership of the effort. * Rome Lab Weather Project (http://kopernik.npac.syr.edu:8888/weather/). Project leader of small team of graduate students to bring visualizations of current U.S. weather and supercomputing forecasts using state-of-the-art web technologies. Developing a collaborative visualization system for multi-dimensional codes that will run over the Internet. * Scientific Data Visualization (http://kopernik.npac.syr.edu:8888/weather/). Project leader to develop a "state-of-the-art" visualization toolkit for computational researchers and students. This project has gained vast interest due to its usability, scalability, etc. This code is written in 100% Java and includes such features as collaborations, user-definable-filters, displaying 1D, 2D, 3D plots in a variety of modes. * SV2: Collaborative Scientific Visualization for Voluminous Data A follow on project to the Scientific Visualization project. The research done in this effort will focus on developing near-real-time collaborative scientific visualization for large-scale computing. A paper has just been submitted to Java for High Performance Network computing. * Financial modeling Involved with a collaboration of business people and academic people to develop a Monte Carlo code to price options for options with multiple American underliers. Supervision of graduate/undergraduate students * Management and Supervision of graduate and undergraduate students: In the last 2 years at NPAC, I have supervised 3 undergraduates in the Research Experiences for Undergraduates in High Performance Computing at NPAC (http://www.npac.syr.edu/REU/). Post Doctorate Fellowship: 09/94 to 12/95 University of Texas, Austin Designed several numerical tools for the solution of large-scale PDE's: * A three-dimensional elliptic PDE solver for the initial value problem of the coalescence of two black holes. * General multi-dimensional interpolation schemes, for use on parallel and vector machines. * Started the Texas black hole evolution group. * Lead the design effort for multigrid support in the Distributed Adaptive Grid Hierarchy effort. Research Associate: 06/94 to 09/94 Center for Relativity, University of Texas, Austin * Designed a large scale PDE elliptic solver for the initial value problem for general relativity. Research Associate: 09/89 to 06/94 Center for High Performance Computing, University of Texas, Austin Worked on visualizations for medical imaging including: * Designed visualization techniques to show MRI's and CAT scans in 3D. * Implemented a visualization technique to map from an abstract mathematical model, to the human body to display the spread of head and neck cancer. Junior Physicist: 1987,1988 Plasma Physics Laboratory, Diagnostics Division, Princeton University * Designed a large-scale computer system for the diagnostic spectroscopy group working on plasma physics, which is still in use today. Junior Engineer: 1986 Dyna East Corporation, Philadelphia PA Worked on a two-dimensional finite-element code to help design non-nuclear warheads.
