Thomas Sterling, executive associate director of the Center for Research in Extreme Scale Technologies (CREST) and professor of computer science in the IU School of Informatics and Computing, has been named an HPCwire person to watch in 2013. The publication’s annual list features 12 movers and shakers whose reach extends beyond high performance computing (HPC) to shape future directions of technology, propelling scientific and engineering advancements.

“Thomas Sterling’s transformative approach to large-scale, data-driven computing is truly visionary, and that is one of the reasons that Indiana University recruited Dr. Sterling in 2011,” said Brad Wheeler, IU vice president for information technology and CIO. “His focus on game-changing computing architectures that are essential for exascale data and compute problems proffers great promise for the growing scale of modern science.”
