Henry Tufo received his Ph.D. from Brown University in 1998. Henry was a member of the DOE ASC Center for Astrophysical Thermonuclear Flashes at the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory from 1998 to 2002. He is currently an Associate Professor of Computer Science at the University of Colorado and Computer Science Group Head at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. Henry conducts research in high-performance scientific computing, parallel architectures for petascale computing, Linux clusters, scalable solvers, high-order numerical methods, computational fluid dynamics, and flow visualization. He is co-developer of NEK5000, a state-of-the-art code for simulation of unsteady incompressible flows in complex geometries, and was a recipient of the Gordon Bell award in 1999 and 2000 for demonstrated excellence in high-performance and large-scale parallel computing.
