Jay Lofstead

Jay's Picture I am a Ph.D. candidate in the College of Computing at Georgia Tech working with Karsten Schwan. I received my BS CS from Ga Tech in Spring 1993 and went into industry for 10 years. I returned to Ga Tech in Fall 2002 and completed my MS CS degree in Spring 2004. My primary research area is systems with an emphasis on infrastructure enabling the construction of large-scale, complex, distributed applications. In October 2004 I received the Excellence in Engineering Fellowship from Sandia National Laboratories to work on issues related to data access in next generation super computer architectures. The particular project is Scalable I/O Systems for High Performance Computing working with Ron Oldfield. In August 2006, I received the Georgia Tech President's Fellowship. My other computing interests include programming languages, software engineering, and HCI. I am a member of both the ACM and the IEEE. When I am on campus, I sit in the southwest corner of KACB 3201. Because I live 40 miles north of campus in Sugar Hill, GA, I work from home as much as possible.

My main current work is the ADIOS - ADaptable IO System with Scott Klasky at NCCS hosted at Oak Ridge National Laboratory

My coursework and current schedule.

I have several hobbies that keep me busy outside of class time including free English tutoring for non-native speakers.

Here are some miscellaneous useful things I have.
