Grid links I use all the time
My responsibilities
- Assistant group leader of the FermiGrid Services Group.
- Lead sysadmin for the FermiGrid gateway machines
- Sysadmin for gatekeeper nodes on FermiGrid member clusters
- User liaison for FermiGrid users.
- Tasks on my plate for FermiGrid
- Tasks finished so far this week for FermiGrid
My Background
I graduated from Andrews University with a B. A. in Physics and an M.S. in Computer Science. I got an M.S. in Physics and a Ph.D. in Physics from Carnegie Mellon. For much of that time I was at Fermilab as a graduate student helping to build the SELEX experiment. For five years I was a research associate and systems manager in the High Energy Physics group of the University at Albany, State University of New York. Most of my work was on the CLEO experiment where I specialized in, and eventually led, the Charm Baryon physics group. I came to Fermilab in 2000.At Fermilab for the first six years I was lead of the team of system administrators that managed the reconstruction farms for CDF, D0 and general purpose users. We worked on automated provisioning of multi-hundred node clusters, monitoring, and hardware and vendor evaluations.
My interests
My current focus is enabling all the various farms at Fermilab to have grid interfaces to the Open Science Grid, and to each other via the FermiGrid project.
