Cognitive Computing
Dr. Masoud Nikravesh: CITRIS Executive Director, Computational Science and Engineering.
By combining high-performance computing, mathematical modeling, scientific and engineering theory, and analysis of large scale data bases of observations, Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) promises to bring a new paradigm to interdisciplinary research and education. CSE aims to advance solutions for a wide-range of complex, real world, natural and social problems in critical areas such as climate modeling, astrophysics and astronomy, engineering better search engines, neurosciences and cognitive computing, geophysical modeling, parallel computing, national defense, and socio-economical-policy modeling, to name a few. These problems are critical to scientific research and education, economic and intellectual growth with social impacts. CSE is a joint effort between Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS), the Computing Sciences Directorate at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the College of Engineering, and the College of Letters and Science.
Dr. Nikravesh started his academic and scientific carrier as Postdoc researcher in Spring 1995 at University of California-Berkeley (Materials Science and Engineering Department) and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Earth Sciences Division) as joint appointment. Dr. Nikravesh was Executive Director of BISC of the Computer Science Division at the University of California, Berkeley and the BT Senior Research Fellow. He worked for NIOC from 1978 to 1990 and he was the senior research scientist with EGI at the University of Utah from 1998-2000. Dr. Nikravesh has published nine books and over 200 papers on a wide range of scientific and engineering applications. In addition, he has been an invited lecturer throughout the world including USA, China, Germany, Hong Kong, Finland, Canada, UK, Turkey, New Zealand, and Mexico as well as at many conferences and scientific events. He has been a member of IEEE, SPE, AAPG, SEG, ACS, NAFIPS, IFSA, AICHE, and other scientific scholarly societies.
