Meet the Team

Directs Research Computing Services’ personnel, policies, programs and infrastructure; assists with proposal development and external relations; and coordinates the department’s engagement with locally-hosted, regional, federated, and cloud-enabled research computing resources and services.

Works with Boise State researchers, postdocs and graduate students to provide expertise in parallel software development; leverage existing on- and off-campus CI resources to increase computational science; develop solutions for big data transfer, storage and retrieval; and advance education and broaden knowledge of CI resources through community engagement.

Interacts with stakeholders to understand computational and data storage needs to design and support a wide range of CI solutions. Serves as an XSEDE Campus Champion to help Boise State research faculty and students leverage the federated computational resources and services that are supported by the U.S. taxpayer investment.

Provides support for researchers who would benefit from supercomputing resources. Located in Idaho Falls at the Collaborative Computing Center on the Idaho National Laboratory campus, serves as a primary point of contact for accessing the Falcon supercomputer. Experienced in computational biology pipelines, parallel computing, computational mathematics, and data/scientific visualizations.

Provides training in the use of locally hosted, federated and cloud-enabled computational, software and storage CI solutions. Specialized in computational chemistry, materials science, and related applications; provides consultation services to Boise State researchers and students on data analytics and scientific visualization challenges.

Assists researchers with programming tasks including optimization, debugging, and creating software for specific tasks. Automates recurring/repetitive tasks using software or other tools. Adapts existing code or tools to better fit research goals. Assists with data access, modification, extraction and translation.

As a Ph.D. student specialized in data science and AI workflows, provides training and facilitates access to local and federated HPC resources, storage, and services.
