Research Interests
Dr.
John R. Gilbert joined the CSE program and the Department
of Computer Science in January 2003. Before coming to UCSB, Dr.
Gilbert was a Principal Scientist and Manager of the Computation
and Matter Area in the Systems and Practices Laboratory at Xerox
PARC, working to connect computer science and information technology
with smart matter and systemic MEMS. His research included projects
in distributed data analysis and collaborating sensors, meso-scale
MEMS for active surfaces, and modular robotics.
Dr.
Gilbert received his PhD in Computer Science at Stanford in 1981.
From 1981 to 1988 he was Assistant and Associate Professor of Computer
Science at Cornell, where he was an NSF Presidential Young Investigator.
In 1988 he joined Xerox PARC, where he performed and directed research
in parallel computing, computational geometry, languages and compilers
for high-performance computing, and mathematical algorithms and
software. Dr. Gilbert is a member of the Council of the Society
for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, and a past chair of the
ACM Special Interest Group on Numerical Mathematics. Dr. Gilbert
developed the sparse matrix solvers used in the commercial Matlab
engineering environment; he is also the author of about 50 technical
papers and a number of patents. |
