Research Interests:
Computational science has transformed the scientific process but has yet to make its necessary impact on education of graduate, undergraduate, and pre-college students. At Shodor we are leading the effort to transform learning through computational thinking. By developing research-quality simulations and computational tools, Shodor is helping develop the next generation computational scientist capable of combining quantitative and qualitative models, analogous thinking across disciplines, and multi-scale modeling. We are at the leading edge of petascale applications, while still working in the classroom setting. I am looking for dynamic individuals capable of collaboration with the best math and science practioners and educators. I am looking for persons who understand the power of dynamic representation and modeling and can build effective learning environments that bring young learners to want to be scientists who use computing in new and exciting ways to model and master the world around them. You should have a solid background in more than one of the following areas: computing, mathematics, science, humanities, education. I am especially hoping to find persons with an interest towards developing effective learning modules in multi-core/many-core systems in support of the Track 1 and Track 2 Petascale Computing Facilities funded by NSF.
