The National Science Foundation created the George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) to improve our understanding of earthquakes and their effects. Dr. Eigenmann will walk us through the formation of NEEShub and why HUBzero is the perfect platform for their purpose. He will also talk about the challenges they face as a growing hub.

Rudolf Eigenmann is a professor at the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Technical Director for HPC of the Computing Research Institute at Purdue University. He is the leader of Information Technology in the Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) Operations project, 2009-2014. His research interests include optimizing compilers, programming methodologies and tools, performance evaluation for high-performance computers and applications, and cyberinfrastructures. Dr. Eigenmann received a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering/Computer Science in 1988 from ETH Zurich, Switzerland.
