Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics
Associate Director (2003-2006) of NSF-established national research institute in the mathematical sciences. Scientific oversight of semester-long programs, conferences, workshops and summer schools from their conception to their implementation.
Major programs included:
- Proteomics: Sequence, Structure, Function, Spring 2004.
- Grand Challenge Problems in Computational Astrophysics, Spring 2005.
- Graduate Summer School: Intelligent Extraction of Information from Graphs and High Dimensional Data, Summer 2005.
- Bridging Time and Length Scales in Materials Science and Bio-Physics, Fall 2005.
