Statement by Dr. Ruzena Bajcsy
Assistant Director, Computer and Information Science
and Engineering, National Science Foundation
On the announcement that Dr. Fran Berman will succeed
Dr. Sid Karin as director of the National Partnership
for Advanced Computational Infrastructure (NPACI)
at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC)
I congratulate Dr. Fran Berman on the announcement
that she will succeed Dr. Sid Karin as director of
NPACI and SDSC. Dr. Berman is an excellent choice
due to her prominence in the research field of distributed
computation and her long association with the NSF-funded
activities at the University of California, San Diego
(UCSD). Through NSF's Partnership for Advanced Computational
Infrastructure program -- which funds NPACI to provide
advanced computational tools to researchers across
the U.S. -- I look forward to working with her.
We at NSF and the research community as a whole owe
a great debt to Sid Karin for his leadership. Thanks
in large part to him, UCSD has maintained for many
years its lofty reputation for high-performance computing
research, and I am glad he will remain there as a
strategic advisor.
