Project Leadership Changes
|
After 25 years at SDSC, Nancy Wilkins-Diehr, XSEDE Co-PI and Co-Director of ECSS, will be phasing out her XSEDE participation by July. She will remain at 50% time at SDSC and retain her Science Gateways Community Institute PI role. Her replacement has not yet been named. She has been an integral part of XSEDE since the beginning and will be sincerely missed!
Phil Blood of PSC will be transitioning to interim Co-Director of ECSS. We offer a tremendous thank-you to Sergiu Sanielevici for serving in this role over the past year following Ralph Roskies' departure from the project. We are so grateful to both of them for their leadership talent and ongoing efforts in making XSEDE a success.
