Ronald F. Boisvert |
Ronald F. Boisvert leads the Mathematical and Computational Sciences Division of the Information Technology Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). He received his Ph.D. in computer science from Purdue University in 1979 and has been at NIST (formerly the National Bureau of Standards) since then. His research interests include numerical solution of partial differential equations, mathematical software, and information services that support computational science. He contributed to the development of the original ELLPACK system for elliptic boundary value problems, the NBS Core Math Library, VFFTPACK (for vectorized FFTs), VFNLIB (for vectorized Bessel functions), the Guide to Available Mathematical Software, and the Matrix Market. He is one of the principal editors for the NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions, now under development. He is Editor-in-Chief of the ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software, Vice-Chair of the ACM Publications Board, Chair of the IFIP Working Group 2.5 (Numerical Software), and co-chair of the Numerics Working Group of the Java Grande Forum. He was awarded the U.S. Department of Commerce Silver Medal for Meritorious Federal Service in 1992, the Outstanding Contribution to ACM Award in 2000, and the Keene State College Alumni Achievement Award in 2002. He is a member of the ACM, IEEE Computer Society, and SIAM. |
