Biography:
Dr. Darema is the Senior Science Analyst for CISE, and Director of the Next Generation Software Program. Dr. Darema's interests and technical contributions span the development of parallel applications, parallel algorithms, programming models, environments, and performance methods and tools for the design of applications and of software for parallel and distributed systems.
Dr. Darema received her BS degree from the School of Physics and Mathematics of the University of Athens - Greece, and MS and Ph. D. degrees in Theoretical Nuclear Physics from the Illinois Institute of Technology and the University of California at Davis respectively. After Physics Research Associate positions at the University of Pittsburgh and Brookhaven National Lab, she became a Technical Staff Member in the Nuclear Sciences Department at Schlumberger-Doll Research. Subsequently she joined the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center as a Research Staff Member in the Computer Sciences Department and later-on she established and became the manager of a research group at IBM Research on parallel applications. While at IBM she also served in the IBM Corporate Strategy Group examining and helping set corporate-wide strategies. Dr. Darema was elected IEEE Fellow for proposing in 1984 the SPMD (Single-Program-Multiple-Data) computational model that has become the popular model for programming today's parallel and distributed computers.
Dr. Darema has been at NSF since 1994, and in 1996-1998 was on a two-year assignment at DARPA where she initiated a new thrust for research on methods and technology for performance engineered systems.
