Carl Kesselman
Dr. Carl Kesselman is the director of the Center for Grid Technologies at the University of Southern California's Information Sciences Institute. He is also a Research Associate Professor of Computers Science at the University of Southern California and a visiting associate of Computer Science at the California Institute of Technology. He received a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of California at Los Angles, a Masters of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of Southern California, and a Bachelors of Science in Electrical Engineering from the State University of New York at Buffalo. Dr. Kesselman's research interests are focused on all aspects of Grid computing, including Grid architecture, wide-area data management services, resource management, and security. Along with Dr. Ian Foster, Kesselman co-leads the Globus project, which has developed the Grid middleware that is serving as the basis for many of the major Grid deployment activities that are taking place throughout the world. In 1998, the Globus project won the Global Information Infrastructure award in the Next Generation Infrastructure category. Dr Kesselman is also the co-editor of “Computational Grids: Blueprint for a New Computing Infrastructure,” a book which is widely cited as influencing the establishment of the Grid computing paradigm.
