David A. Bader (born May 4, 1969) is an Associate Professor and Executive Director of High-Performance Computing in the College of Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology.[2] He is an National Science Foundation CAREER Award recipient and an IEEE Computer Society Distinguished Speaker.[2] His main areas of research are in parallel algorithms, combinatorial optimization, and computational biology and genomics.[3]
Dr. Bader is an expert in the design and analysis of parallel and multicore algorithms for real-world applications such as those in computational biology. He has won highly-competitive awards from the National Science Foundation (NSF), IBM, Microsoft Research, Sony, and Sun Microsystems. He has co-chaired a series of meetings, the IEEE International Workshop on High-Performance Computational Biology (HiCOMB), written several book chapters, and co-edited a special issue of the Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing on High-Performance Computational Biology. He has co-authored over 75 articles in peer-reviewed journals and conferences.[2]

[edit] Biography
[edit] Education
Dr. Bader graduated from Liberty High School (Bethlehem, Pennsylvania) in 1987. He received a B.S. in Computer Engineering in 1990 and an M.S. in Electrical Engineering in 1991 from Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.[2] He then received a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering in 1996 from The University of Maryland, College Park.[2] During his doctoral research, he was a NASA Graduate Fellow (1992-1996).[2] His doctoral thesis was "On the Design and Analysis of Practical Parallel Algorithms for Combinatorial Problems with Applications to Image Processing."[2] After receiving his doctorate, he was awarded a National Science Foundation (NSF) Postdoctoral Research Associateship in Experimental Computer Science (1996-1997).[2]
[edit] Career
From 1998 - 2005 he was a professor and Regents' Lecturer at The University of New Mexico.[2]
In 2005, Bader moved to Georgia Tech, where he is an Associate Professor. He has served on numerous conference program committees related to parallel processing, is an associate editor for the IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems and the ACM Journal of Experimental Algorithmics, a Senior Member of the IEEE Computer Society, and a Member of the ACM.[3]
Bader serves on the Steering Committees of the IPDPS and HiPC conferences, and is the General co-Chair for IPDPS (2004--2005), and Vice General Chair for HiPC (2002--2004). David has previously chaired several conference program committees, is the Program Chair for HiPC 2005, and a Program Vice-Chair for IPDPS 2006.
In November 2006, Dr. Bader was selected by Sony, Toshiba, and IBM, to direct the first STI Center of Competence for the Cell processor.[4][5]
[edit] Awards
He is an NSF CAREER Award recipient,[6] an investigator on several NSF awards, a distinguished speaker in the IEEE Computer Society Distinguished Visitors Program, and is a member of the IBM PERCS team for the DARPA High Productivity Computing Systems program.[2] He is an Eagle Scout and Vigil Honor in the Boy Scouts of America.
