WILLIAM D. GROPP, Co-Chair, is the Thomas M. Siebel Chair in Computer Science at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, where he is also founding director of the Parallel Computing Institute. He held the positions of assistant (1982-1988) and associate (1988-1990) professor in the Computer Science Department at Yale University. In 1990, he joined the Numerical Analysis group at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), where he was a senior computer scientist in the Mathematics and Computer Science Division, a senior scientist in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Chicago, and a senior fellow in the Argonne-Chicago Computation Institute. From 2000 through 2006, he was deputy director of the Mathematics and Computer Science Division at ANL. In 2007, he joined the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, as the Paul and Cynthia Saylor Professor in the Department of Computer Science. In 2008, he was appointed deputy director for research for the Institute of Advanced Computing Applications and Technologies at the University of Illinois. His research interests are in parallel computing, software for scientific computing, and numerical methods for partial differential equations. He has played a major role in the development of the MPI message-passing standard, is one of the designers of the PETSc parallel numerical library, and has developed efficient and scalable parallel algorithms for the solution of linear and non-linear equations. Dr. Gropp is a fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) and a member of the National Academy of Engineering. He received the Sidney Fernbach Award from the IEEE Computer Society in 2008 and the Technical Committee on Scalable Computing Award for Excellence in Scalable Computing in 2010. Dr. Gropp received his B.S. in mathematics from Case Western Reserve University, an M.S. in physics from the University of Washington, and a Ph.D. in computer science from Stanford University.

ROBERT J. HARRISON, Co-Chair, is director, Institute of Advanced Scientific Computing, Stony Brook University, and director, Computational Science Center, Brookhaven National Laboratory. The core mission of the new Stony Brook institute is to advance the science of computing and its applications to solving complex problems in the physical sciences, the life sciences, medicine, sociology, industry, and finance. The institute works closely with the Brookhaven center, which specializes in data-intensive computing. Dr. Harrisons research interests are focused on scientific computing and the development of computational chemistry methods for the worlds most technologically advanced supercomputers. From 2002 to 2012, he was director of the Joint Institute of Computational Science and professor of chemistry and corporate fellow at the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Prior positions were at the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory, Pacific Northwest Laboratory, and ANL. He has a prolific career in high-performance computing, with more than 100 publications on the subject, as well as extensive service on national advisory committees. He received his B.A. from Churchill College, University of Cambridge, and his Ph.D. in organic and theoretical chemistry from the University of Cambridge.
