Rolf Riesen, co-designer of Portals, is a (principal?) member of the technical staff at Sandia National Laboratories Scalable Computing Systems Department. Rolf received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of New Mexico in 2002. (Rolf, do you want more on your research interests?) He is currently involved with the Computational Plant project at Sandia whose goal is to develop and maintain a commodity-based, large-scale high-performance computing resource. Rolf also organized the Cluster Performance Enhancements High-Intensity Retreat (CPEHIR) in September 2002.

Arthur B. (Barney) Maccabe, co-designer of Portals, is a professor of Computer Science at the University of New Mexico. He received his Ph.D. in Information and Computer Sciences at Georgia Tech in 1982, his MS in Information and Computer Science at Georgia Tech in 1980, and his BS in Mathematics at the University of Arizona in 1977. Barney oversees the Scalable Systems Laboratory, a computer science research laboratory at UNM whose goal is to develop approaches for the design and implementation of high-performance scalable computing systems.

Ron Brightwell, co-designer of Portals, is a principal member of the technical staff at Sandia National Laboratories Scalable Computing Systems Department. He received his Master's Degree at Mississippi State University in 1994, and was honored with the Distinguished Engineering Fellow by Mississippi State University in 2003. Ron is currently involved with the Computational Plant project at Sandia whose goal is to develop and maintain a commodity-based, large-scale high-performance computing resource. He has also developed and implemented MPICH over Puma Portals.

Trammell Hudson (Tramm) was involved in the design and implementation of the Portals 3.0 high-performance reference implementation. He received his BS in Computer Science at Tulane University in 1998. He is currently the director of Rotomotion Corporation, a company whose goal is to produce a do-it-yourself autopilot kit that anyone can build and fly.

Kevin Pedretti is a (job title?) at Sandia National Laboratories. (Describe how he is involved in the Portals project.)

Edgar Leon is involved in the implementation of the high-performance Portals 3.3 reference implementation. Edgar is a Ph.D. student at the University of New Mexico. His research interest is (???). He received his MS in Computer Science at the University of New Mexico in 200??.

Dena Vigil is a Research Assistant at the University of New Mexico. Her work with Portals includes the design and implementation of the Portals 3.3 Test Suite and the Portals 3.3 Web site. She is pursuing her Master's Degree in Computer Science at the University of New Mexico. She received her BS in Computer Science at the University of New Mexico in 2001.
