Reed named to first Kenan
Eminent Professorship, will direct new interdisciplinary Institute for Renaissance
Computing
Dr. Daniel A. Reed, one
of the world’s foremost leaders in high-performance computing and the key architect
of many national computing initiatives, has been named the first Kenan Eminent
Professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He will also direct
a new interdisciplinary computing institute based at Carolina, with strong collaborative
ties to Duke and N.C. State universities.
At Carolina, Reed will be
the founding director of the Institute for Renaissance Computing, a venture
supported by the three universities that will explore the interactions of computing
technology with the sciences, arts and humanities. The institute also will partner
with business leaders to enhance the competitiveness of North Carolina industries.

"The opportunity to teach at Chapel Hill, and to build an internationally
recognized, broadly based research institute, made this an irresistible
opportunity," Reed said.
