Lois Curfman McInnes<\/strong> is a senior computational scientist and Argonne distinguished fellow in the Mathematics and Computer Science Division<\/a> of Argonne National Laboratory<\/a>. She received a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Virginia<\/a> in 1993. \u00a0Her research focuses on numerical algorithms and software for the parallel solution of large-scale scientific applications involving nonlinear partial differential equations and related optimization problems in the PETSc\/TAO<\/a>\u00a0libraries. \u00a0More broadly, her work focuses on\u00a0high-performance computational science, with emphasis on scalable numerical libraries and community collaboration toward productive and sustainable software ecosystems.<\/p>\n Lois serves as co-lead PI of the PESO<\/a> project, a five-year post-ECP software-ecosystem stewardship and advancement project that is part of the Consortium for the Advancement of Scientific Software (CASS<\/a>).<\/p>\n During 2020 – 2023, Lois served as Deputy Director of the Software Technology focus area of the DOE Exascale Computing Project (ECP<\/a>).<\/p>\n Scientific software productivity and sustainability:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0 Lois co-led the IDEAS<\/a> scientific software productivity project (2014-2023), which engaged teams to improve software productivity and sustainability as a key aspect of advancing overall scientific productivity.<\/p>\n During 2018-2019, Lois served as the technical area lead of work on Math Libraries<\/a> in ECP Software Technology. During 2014-2018, Lois led community collaboration on the Extreme-scale Scientific Software Development Kit (xSDK)<\/a>, which is working toward a software ecosystem for high-performance numerical libraries. \u00a0The vision of the xSDK is to provide infrastructure for and interoperability of a collection of related and\u00a0complementary software elements\u2014developed by diverse, independent teams throughout the high-performance computing (HPC) community.<\/p>\n SIAM Activity Group on Supercomputing (SIAG\/SC<\/a>):<\/strong><\/p>\n SIAM Activity Group on Computational Science and Engineering (SIAG\/CSE<\/a>):<\/strong><\/p>\n More info: <\/strong><\/p>\n Lois co-organized a 2011 workshop on Multiphysics Simulations: Challenges and Opportunities<\/a>, sponsored by the Institute for Computing in Science (ICiS). \u00a0 See a special issue of IJHPCA<\/a>, Feb 2013.<\/p>\n In 1988 Lois earned a B.S. in Mathematics and Physics, Summa Cum Laude, from Muhlenberg College<\/a>, Allentown, PA. \u00a0Lois and her husband have two daughters. \u00a0Her extracurricular activities include strength training, Zumba and yoga; previously she participated in triathlons and co-led two Girl Scout<\/a> troops and a service unit.<\/p>\n Publications at Google Scholar<\/a><\/p>\n Lois\u00a0served as a co-PI of the Frameworks, Algorithms, and Scalable Technologies for Mathematics (FASTMath<\/a>) Institute during 2011-2020, funded by the Department of Energy’s\u00a0Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDAC)<\/a> program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lois Curfman McInnes is a senior computational scientist and Argonne distinguished fellow in the Mathematics and Computer Science Division of Argonne National Laboratory.
