Robert J. Harrison (born 1960) is a distinguished expert in high-performance computing. He is a professor in the Applied Mathematics and Statistics department 〔http://www.ams.sunysb.edu〕 and founding Director of the Institute for Advanced Computational Science at Stony Brook University 〔http://iacs.stonybrook.edu〕 with a $20M endowment.〔http://www.newsday.com/long-island/education/20m-to-stony-brook-for-supercomputer-institute-1.3887276〕 Through a joint appointment with Brookhaven National Laboratory, Professor Harrison has also been named Director of the Computational Science Center 〔http://www.bnl.gov/csc/〕 and New York Center for Computational Sciences 〔http://www.bnl.gov/nyccs/〕 at Brookhaven. Dr. Harrison comes to Stony Brook from the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, where he was Director of the Joint Institute of Computational Science, Professor of Chemistry and Corporate Fellow. He has a prolific career in high-performance computing with over one hundred publications on the subject, as well as extensive service on national advisory committees. He has many publications in peer-reviewed journals in the areas of theoretical and computational chemistry, and high-performance computing. His undergraduate (1981) and post-graduate (1984) degrees were obtained at Cambridge University, England. Subsequently, he worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at the Quantum Theory Project, University of Florida, and the Daresbury Laboratory, England, before joining the staff of the theoretical chemistry group at Argonne National Laboratory in 1988. In 1992, he moved to the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, conducting research in theoretical chemistry and leading the development of NWChem, a computational chemistry code for massively parallel computers. In August 2002, he started the joint faculty appointment with UT/ORNL, and became director of JICS in 2011. In addition to his DOE Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDAC) research into efficient and accurate calculations on large systems, he has been pursuing applications in molecular electronics and chemistry at the nanoscale. In 1999, the NWChem team received an R&D Magazine R&D100 award,〔http://www.pnnl.gov/about/rd100awards.asp#1999〕 in 2002, he received the IEEE Computer Society Sidney Fernbach Award,〔http://www.computer.org/portal/web/awards/fernbach-harrison〕 and in 2011 another R&D Magazine R&D100 award for the development of MADNESS.〔http://www.rdmag.com/award-winners/2011/08/free-framework-scientific-simulation〕 His interests and expertise are in theoretical and computational chemistry, high-performance computing, electron correlation, electron transport, relativistic chemistry, and response theory. ==Bibliography== # # # # # # # 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robert J.
