Roldan Pozo is a senior researcher in
the Mathematical and Computational Sciences Division
at the National Institute of Standards and Technology,
where he investigates issues in high performance scientific computation,
numerical linear algebra, and software environments and tools for
parallel computing.
He is the principal designer of several C++ numerical
linear algebra libraries, including Lapack++, SparseLib++, MV++, IML++,
and the Template Numerical Toolkit (TNT). He is also
coauthor of the book,
"Templates for the Solution of Linear Systems: Building Blocks for Iterative
Methods", and one of the developers of
Matrix Market.
He received his PhD in Computer Science from the
University of Colorado in 1991, and in 1997 was awarded the
Presidential
Early Career Award from the US White House for his contributions in
object-oriented linear algebra software and computing.
In 2001, he received the Bronze Medal
Award from the US Department of Commerce for joint work with
Ron Boisvert on improving the Java programming language and
runtime environment for scientific computing.
Currently, he is continuing research into portable high-performance
computing with virtual machines (VM) technologies and is co-chair of
the Java Numerics Group.
Dr. Pozo also serves as
Associate Editor of the
ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software.
