Leland Jameson is trained in applied mathematics with a B.S. from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a PhD from the Division of Applied Mathematics at Brown University. After a Post Doctoral position at the Institute for Computer Applications in Science and Engineering (ICASE), he moved to Japan to work as a research scientist at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. From Mitsubishi he was dispatched to the Frontier Research Center in Tokyo, one of the original research centers associated with the Earth Simulator, and then dispatched as one of the first two members of the International Pacific Research Center (IPRC) at the University of Hawaii, a joint US-Japanese research center focused on the Pacific ocean. In 1999 he moved to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory as a research scientist and is currently on leave from LLNL as a program director at the NSF.

His research interests are in computational science, wavelet analysis, high order numerical methods, and data assimilation.
