Charlie Catlett

Charlie Catlett is currently a Senior Fellow in the Computation Institute at Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Chicago, and Director of the TeraGrid Project, an initiative of the National Science Foundation.

Prior to joining Argonne in 2000, Catlett was chief technology officer at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA). He was part of the original team that established NCSA in 1985 and his early work there included participation on the team that deployed and managed the NSFNet.

Catlett was the founding chair of the Global Grid Forum (GGF) from 1999 through 2004. During this same period he designed and deployed one of the first regional optical networks dedicated to academic and research use - I-WIRE, funded by the State of Illinois.

He has been involved in Grid (distributed) computing since the early 1990's, when he co-authored (with Larry Smarr) a seminal paper "Metacomputing" in the Communications of the ACM, which outlined many of the high-level goals of what is today called Grid computing.
