These have been long-standing themes of Prof. Robert J. Harrison’s research and are reflected in community codes/tools which he established (NWChem, MADNESS and Global Arrays) and in ongoing projects (e.g., NSF ACI-1450344, “Task-Based Environment for Scientific Simulation at Extreme Scale”). He was the recipient of the 2002 IEEE Sydney Fernbach Award, and is director of the Institute for Advanced Computational Science at Stony Brook University, and the Center for Scientific Computing at Brookhaven National Laboratory.
