"James Dinan named Givens Postdoctoral Fellow"

James Dinan, a postdoctoral researcher in Argonne’s Mathematics and Computer Science Division, has been selected as the James Wallace Givens Postdoctoral Fellowship recipient for 2011.

The fellowship is named for Prof. James Wallace Givens, a mathematician and pioneer in computer science, who served as director of Argonne’s Division of Applied Mathematics from 1964 to 1970. It is one of thirteen special postdoctoral fellowships awarded internationally each year to outstanding postdoctoral scientists and engineers who show definite promise of becoming leaders in their field.

Dinan received his Ph.D. in computer science from Ohio State University and joined Argonne’s Mathematics and Computer Science Division as an Argonne scholar in 2010. His research focuses on programming models, runtime systems, and tools to support exascale computational science. He is coauthor of approximately a dozen articles in refereed journals and conference proceedings and lead author of half of these.
