Dr. Wardle joined NSF in 1990 as a Program Director in the CISE Office of Cross Disciplinary Activities (CDA), now the Division of Experimental and Integrative Activities (EIA).

She has managed a number of researchand educational programs
including Research Infrastructure, Research Instrumentation, Major Research Instrumentation, Educational Infrastructure, Faculty Awards for Women, Professional Opportunities for Women in Research and Education, Collaborative Research on Learning Technologies and CISE Advanced Distributed Resources for Experiments.

She has also headed a special CISE effort to increase opportunities for women in Computing and is currently leading a new CISE research initiative to explore the underlying reasons for the under-representation of women and minorities in the Information Technology (IT) workforce.

Dr. Wardle served as Deputy Division Director of CCR in 1995 - 1996, was appointed Deputy Office Head of CDA in September 1996, and Deputy Division Director of EIA in 1997. From August 1997 through December 1998 Dr. Wardle was a Visiting Professor at Howard University in Washington, DC, on leave from NSF.

From 1969 to 1975 she was a faculty member at Hunter College of the City University of New York where she was the prime architect of the undergraduate degree program in Computer Science.

From 1975 to 1990 she was a faculty member at Boston University
where she founded and chaired the Department of Computer Science. In 1980, while on leave from Boston University, she joined the Wang Institute of Graduate Studies as Associate Dean, later as Dean. At Wang Institute, Dr. Wardle established the School of Information Technology and implemented its first degree program, a Masters degree in Software Engineering.

Dr. Wardle's research interests have spanned theoretical physics, computer graphics, programming languages, software engineering and information systems.

She received a Ph.D. in Mathematical Physics in 1970 from the University of London, England.
