As part of a joint effort to explore new collaboration tools of interest to the UW research community, the Office of the CIO, in conjunction with the Graduate School, the Morgridge Institute for Research, and UW-Madison Libraries, will be hosting a presentation and demonstration of HUBzero™ on Wednesday, December 3.
Created by researchers at Purdue University, in conjunction with the NSF-sponsored Network for Computational Nanotechnology, HUBzero™ makes it possible to create communities for collaborative research and educational activities. Users can build powerful Web sites that support scientific discovery, learning, and collaboration by utilizing HUBzero’s simulation tools, tutorials, podcasts, and other resources via the web. The platform is so elegant, you have to see it to believe it!
Speaker
Michael McLennan
Michael McLennan received a Ph.D. in 1990 from Purdue University for his dissertation on dissipative quantum mechanical electron transport in semiconductor heterostructure devices. He became a Tcl enthusiast when he joined Bell Labs in 1992 to work on tools for semiconductor device and process simulation. He is co-author of "Effective Tcl/Tk Programming" (published by Addison-Wesley) and "Tcl/Tk Tools" (published by O'Reilly and Associates). He also developed [incr Tcl], an object-oriented extension of Tcl, which is now used by thousands of developers worldwide, on projects ranging from the TiVo digital video recorder to the Mars Pathfinder.
Dr. McLennan was an Architect at Cadence Design Systems, where he developed the SimVision visualization and debugging environment for NC-Sim. He is currently a Senior Research Scientist at Purdue University, where he develops simulation and visualization software for the Network for Computational Nanotechnology (NCN). His latest project is the Rappture toolkit.
