James “Jim” J. Thomas (March 26, 1946 – August 6, 2010) was an internationally recognized computer scientist and is considered by many computer scientists to be a visionary and inspiring research and development (R&D) leader 〔http://www.pnl.gov/news/release.asp?id=278〕 in the field of visualization (computer graphics). Professionally, he was a Laboratory Fellow at the (Department of Energy (DOE) )’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. On July 31, 2009, Thomas retired from his position at PNNL after 33 years. Thomas died on August 6, 2010.
==Career==
Jim Thomas’ professional career started at General Motors, where he worked in the area of computer-aided graphics and design soon after graduate school in early 1970s. He later returned to his home state of Washington to join the Pacific Northwest Laboratory (now Pacific Northwest National Laboratory ()) as a computer scientist in 1976. Through the years, he has risen through the ranks from senior scientist, staff scientist, chief scientist, to Laboratory Fellow.
In the 1980s, he was a member of the founding team who conceptualized and developed the core concepts for what is today’s (William R. Wiley Environmental and Molecular Sciences Laboratory ), a DOE scientific user facility located at PNNL. In the early 1990s, to address the problem of information overload, Thomas headed a team of information technology (IT) researchers to develop the SPIRE document Visualization (computer graphics) visualization and analytics system. The successor to this groundbreaking system, (IN-SPIRE ), is still in use today. In the early 2000s, Thomas led and coordinated a team of top scientists and scientific leaders from academia, industry, and government sectors to formally define a new research area, visual analytics. The (U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) ) established the (National Visualization and Analytics Center (NVAC) ) at PNNL in 2004, naming Thomas as its founding Director.
