Ronald F. Boisvert |
Ronald F. Boisvert leads the Mathematical and Computational Sciences Division of the Information Technology Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). He received his Ph.D. in computer science from Purdue University in 1979 and has been at NIST (formerly the National Bureau of Standards) since then. His research interests include numerical solution of partial differential equations, mathematical software, and information services that support computational science. He contributed to the development of the original ELLPACK system for elliptic boundary value problems, the NBS Core Math Library, VFFTPACK (for vectorized FFTs), VFNLIB (for vectorized Bessel functions), the Guide to Available Mathematical Software, and the Matrix Market. He is one of the principal editors for the NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions, now under development. He has served as Editor-in-Chief of the ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software 1992-2005, and co-chair of the Numerics Working Group of the Java Grande Forum 1998-2003. He is currently Co-Chair of the Publications Board of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), and Chair of the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 2.5 (Numerical Software). He was awarded the U.S. Department of Commerce Silver Medal for Meritorious Federal Service in 1992, the Outstanding Contribution to ACM Award in 2000, and the Keene State College Alumni Achievement Award in 2002. He was named an ACM Distinguished Scientist in 2006, and received the IFIP Silver Core distinction in 2007. He is a member of the ACM, SIAM, the American Mathematical Society, and the IEEE Computer Society. |
