Lois Curfman McInnes is a Computational Scientist in the Mathematics and Computer Science Division of Argonne National Laboratory. She received a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Virginia in 1993. Her research focuses on numerical algorithms and software for the parallel solution of large-scale scientific applications involving nonlinear partial differential equations and related optimization problems. In particular, she develops such software tools within the PETSc and TAO libraries.
McInnes is a member of the
Common
Component Architecture (CCA) Forum and the
Center for Technology
Technology for Advanced Scientific Computing (TASCS), which are developing
a component architecture for high-performance scientific computing.
She is a member of the
Towards Optimal Petascale Simulations
(TOPS),
Framework Application for Core-Edge Transport Simulations
(FACETS),
and
Community Petascale Project for Accelerator Science and Simulation
(COMPASS)
projects funded by the
Department of Energy's
Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDAC),
and she coordinates the 'Components Technology Initiatives'
thrust within the TASCS center.
