Program Responsibilities:

Dr. Darema is the Senior Science and Technology Advisor at CNS and CISE, and

Director of the Next Generation Software Program. Dr. Darema's interests and

technical contributions span the development of parallel applications, parallel algorithms,

programming models, environments, and performance methods and tools for the design

of applications and of software for parallel and distributed systems.
Dr. Darema received her BS degree from the School of Physics and Mathematics of the

University of Athens - Greece, and MS and Ph. D. degrees in Theoretical Nuclear

Physics from the Illinois Institute of Technology and the University of California at Davis

respectively. After Physics Research Associate positions at the University of Pittsburgh

and Brookhaven National Lab, she became a Technical Staff Member in the Nuclear

Sciences Department at Schlumberger-Doll Research. Subsequently, in 1982, she

joined the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center as a Research Staff Member in the

Computer Sciences Department and later-on she established and became the manager

of a research group at IBM Research on parallel applications. While at IBM she also

served in the IBM Corporate Strategy Group examining and helping set corporate-wide

strategies. In 1984 Dr. Darema proposed the SPMD (Single-Program-Multiple-Data)

computational model which has become the popular model for programming today's

parallel and distributed computers.
Dr. Darema has been at NSF since 1994, and recently completed a two-year

assignment at DARPA where she initiated a new thrust for research on methods and

technology for performance engineered systems.
