Marlon Pierce
Assistant Director
Ph.D. Florida State University (Physics), 1998
Since earning his Ph.D. in computational condensed matter physics, Marlon Pierce has focused his postdoctoral research on computational sciences with an emphasis on Grid computing and computational Web portals. Prior to joining the Community Grids Laboratory (CGL), Pierce served as Information and Communication/Enabling Technologies On-Site Lead at the Aeronautical Systems Major Shared Resource Center for the U.S. Department o f Defense. In his role as Assistant Director of the Community Grids Lab Pierce supervises the research activities of numerous Ph.D. students and acts as principal investigator on multiple federally-funded research projects.
Pierce leads research efforts in the following areas: the application of service-oriented architectures and real-time streaming techniques to geographical information systems and sensor networks; the development of open source science Web portal software for accessing Grid computing and data resources; and Grid-based distributed computing applications in computational chemistry and material science, chemical informatics, and geophysics.

Judy Qiu
Assistant Director
Ph.D., Syracuse University (Computer and Information Science), 2005
Judy Qiu graduated from Syracuse University with an Outstanding Graduate Student Award, completing her thesis is in area of web services and collaboration systems. In 2006, she started the multicore project with Microsoft, Inc. and initial Post Doctoral work focusing on performance of threading versus MPI in both kernels and data mining application. This research effort has evolved into the current SALSA project http://salsaweb.indiana.edu/salsa/ encompassing data-intensive computing at the intersection of Cloud and multicore technologies. Qiu’s research interests involve the architecture and use of leading-edge technologies, with special emphasis on their value to important applications such as life science applications and data intensive technologies using Dryad and Hadoop.
As an Assistant Director for the Community Gris Lab, Qiu leads the SALSA research team and supervises research activities of both professional staff and PhD students from the IU School of Informatics and Computing. Qiu is committed to education and diversity, including projects focusing on undergraduate research and involving students from under-represented communities. She is also active in service to the technical community, serving as a member of conference program committees, a reviewer for journal and conference publications, and an organizer of numerous workshops, tutorials, and exhibitions for national and international conferences.

Gregor von Laszewski
Assistant Director
Gregor von Laszewski is conducting state-of-the-art work in Cloud
computing and GreenIT at Indiana University as part of the Future Grid
project. During a 2 year leave of absence from Argonne National
Laboratory he was an Associate at Rochester Institute of Technology.
Prior to this, he worked between 1996 and 2007 for Argonne National
Laboratory where he was last a scientist and a fellow of the
Computation Institute at University of Chicago. He received a Masters
Degree in 1990 from the University of Bonn, Germany, and a Ph.D. in
1996 from Syracuse University in computer science. He is involved in
Grid computing since the term was coined. Current research interests
are in the areas of GreenIT, Grid & Cloud computing, and GPGPUs.
He
is best known for his efforts in making Grids usable and initiating the
Java Commodity Grid Kit which provides a basis for many Grid related
projects including the Globus toolkit (http://www.cogkits.org). His Web page is located at http://cyberaide.org.
