My research interests include scientific computing, parallel algorithms and combinatorics. Much of my work has been in Combinatorial Scientific Computing - the development, analysis and application of discrete algorithms for applications in scientific computing. Some of my recent (and not so recent) projects include the interplay between graph algorithms and computer architectures, support theory - an algebraic approach to analyzing preconditioners, the Chaco graph partitioning tool and the related Zoltan dynamic load balancer, and a range of algorithmic activities in scientific and high performance computing.

Professional Responsibilities

Journal Editing

• I am a guest co-editor for a special issue of SISC on Computational Science and Engineering. I am on the editorial board for the Problems & Techniques section of SIAM Review ,
  I am also an editor of the J. Applied Numerical Analysis & Computational Mathematics, the J. Parallel & Distributed Scientific and Engineering Computing, the Open Applied Mathematics Journal, and the International Journal of Computational Science and Engineering.

Conference Work

• I am on the program commitee for the 22nd IEEE International Parallel & Distributed Processing Symposia, which will be held in the spring of 2008.
• I am also on the program commitee for the VECPAR'08, which will be held in Toulouse in June.

Teaching

• With Steve Plimpton, I co-taught CS442 at the University of New Mexico in the Fall of '97.
