Gene Cooperman

I am also the director of the Institute for Complex Scientific Software (ICSS), started in Fall, 2002. For an idea of our goals, please read our initial charter.

My office is in 336 WVH. My High Performance Computing Lab is in 370 WVH. The extension there is x7127. I also lead the Systems Seminar.

Next, some random pointers of interest to me.

In the early days of the Web, it was popular to set up some web pages that would index all of human knowledge. Here is the trichotomy that I chose for my own index. You are welcome to look more deeply into this tree of knowledge.
