Associate Laboratory Director, CELS Argonne National Laboratory |  |
Research:Rick Stevens is associate laboratory director for Computing, Environment, and Life Sciences. He heads Argonne's advanced computing initiative targeting the development of exascale computing technology and systems and computational biology. He is also a professor of computer science at the University of Chicago and is senior fellow of the Argonne/University of Chicago Computation Institute, a multidisciplinary institute aimed at connecting computing to all areas of inquiry at the University and the Laboratory. In addition, he is co-Director of the Argonne Futures Lab, a research group he started in 1994 to investigate problems in large-scale scientific visualization and advanced collaboration environments (his group in the Futures Lab has developed the widely deployed Access Grid collaboration system. Prof. Stevens is interested in the development of innovative tools and techniques that enable computational scientists to solve important large-scale problems effectively on advanced scientific computers. Specifically, his research focuses on three principal areas: advanced collaboration and visualization environments, high-performance computer architectures, and computational problems in the life sciences, most recently in systems biology. In addition to his research work, Prof. Stevens teaches courses on computer architecture, collaboration technology, virtual reality, parallel computing, wireless sensors networks, and computational science.
