Biography

Dr. Dan Stanzione, director of the High Performance Computing Initiative (HPCI), joined the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering in 2004. Prior to ASU, he served as an AAAS Science Policy Fellow in the Division of Graduate Education at the National Science Foundation. Stanzione began his career at Clemson University, where he earned his doctoral and master degrees in computer engineering as well as his bachelor of science in electrical engineering. He then directed the supercomputing laboratory at Clemson and also served as an assistant research professor of electrical and computer engineering.

Dr. Stanzione's research focuses on parellel programming, scientific computing, Beowulf clusters, scheduling in computational grids, alternative architectures for computational grids, reconfigurable/adaptive computing, and algorithms for high performance bioinformatics. Also an advocate of engineering education, he facilitates student research through the HPCI and teaches specialized computation engineering courses.
