Dr. Scott Klasky receivd his BS in Physics
from Drexel University in 1989, spending time as a co-op student at
Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory developing visualizing/display
software. He then received a Ph.D. in physics from the University
of Texas at Austin in 1994. The topic of Klasky's thesis was in numerical
methods to solve elliptical partial differential equations for numerical
relativity. During his time as a student, Klasky also worked as a
research assistant at the Center for High Performance Computing at
Texas. His work there was in the visualization group, working on developing
visualization software for researchers at Texas. After receiving his
Ph.D., Klasky become a postdoctoral research associate at Texas, working
on advanced computing techniques for the NSF funded grand challenge,
"The Binary Black Hole Grannd Challenge". Between 1996 and
1999, Klasky became a senior research scientist at the Northeast Parallel
Architecture Center at Syracuse University. His research centered
around collaborative visualization and advance numerical methods.
Since 1999, Klasky joined PPPL to become head of visualization in
their computational plasma physics group.
