Bio

The slides for Venkatramani Belaji's invited talk at HPCS2010 may be found here.

Venkatramani Belaji's interests lie at the intersection of science and software: the use of information technology to facilitate the science we currently do, as well as enabling new kinds of science that haven't been dreamt of so far. He works at Princeton University's Cooperative Institute for Climate Sciences (CICS), heading a group providing Modeling Services to the developers of Earth System models at GFDL and Princeton University, where they provide a software environment where scientific groups can develop new physics and new algorithms concurrently, and coordinate periodically. This is the GFDL Flexible Modeling System (FMS), operational here since 1999, and the basis of flagship models CM2.0 and CM2.1 used in the IPCC AR4 campaign.
