David E. Hudak, Ph.D., has joined XSEDE as the new Industry Relations Manager. Hudak earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Bowling Green State University and holds an master's and doctoral degrees in Computer Engineering from the University of Michigan. His doctoral work was on compilation of parallel loops to reduce interprocessor communication, using machines like an nCube, an Encore Multimax, Sequent Symmetry and BBN TC2000. "My bachelor's degree is in mathematics, so I was interested in software and hardware for numerical analysis and linear algebra. From there, HPC was a natural transition," says Hudak. Currently, he is the program director for Cyberinfrastructure and Software Development at the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) working on various aspects of HPC parallel application development - technologies, techniques and tools.  Hudak can be reached at dhudak@osc.edu.
