Dr. Roldan Pozo r. Pozo is a research scientist in the Applied and Computational Mathematics Division, where he investigates issues in high perforamnce scientific computation, including object oriented techniques for scientific computing, numerical linear algebra, and software environments and tools for parallel computing. He is the principle designer of several C++ numerical linear algebra libraries, including IML++, SparseLib++, MV++, LAPACK++, the Template Numerical Toolkit (TNT). Dr. Pozo is also coauthor of the book, "Templates for the Solution of Linear Systems: Building Blocks for Iterative Methods", and one of the original developers of Matrix Market. Recently, Dr. Pozo was awarded the Presidential Early Career Award for his contributions in linear algebra software and computing.
