Short Biography

Dr. Dhabaleswar K. (DK) Panda is a Professor of Computer Science at the Ohio State University. He obtained his Ph.D. in computer engineering from the University of Southern California. His research interests include parallel computer architecture, high performance computing, communication protocols, files systems, network-based computing, and Quality of Service. He has published over 250 papers in major journals and international conferences related to these research areas. Dr. Panda has served as Program Chair/Co-Chair of many international conferences and workshops including Supercomputing (SC)'08, ANCS '07, Hot Interconnect 2007, IPDPS '07, Hot Interconnect 2006, CAC (2001-04), ICPP '01 and CANPC (1997-98). He has served as the General Chair of ICPP '06. He has served as an Associate Editor of IEEE TPDS in past. Currently, he is serving as an Associated Editor of Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing (JPDC). He is serving (has served) as Program Committee Member for many international conferences and workshops.

Dr. Panda and his research group members have been doing extensive research on modern networking technologies including InfiniBand and 10GE/iWARP. His research group is currently collaborating with National Laboratories and leading InfiniBand and 10GE/iWARP companies on designing various subsystems of next generation high-end systems. The MVAPICH/MVAPICH2 (High Performance MPI over InfiniBand and iWARP) open-source software project , developed by his research group, are currently being used by more than 1,000 organizations worldwide (in 52 countries). This software has enabled several InfiniBand clusters (including the 8th ranked one) to get into the latest TOP500 ranking. These software packages are also available with the Open Fabrics stack for network vendors (InfiniBand and iWARP), server vendors and Linux distributors.

Dr. Panda leads Network-Based Computing Research Group . Students and staff members of this group are involved in multiple state-of-the-art research projects . Members of his group have obtained a large number of Awards and Recognitions . Dr. Panda's research is supported by funding from US National Science Foundation, US Department of Energy, Ohio Board of Regents and several industry including Intel, Cisco, SUN, Mellanox, QLogic and NetApp.

Dr. Panda is a Fellow of IEEE and a member of ACM.
