Honored to be hosting a roundtable on AI + security at #AIXSummit NYC today, with @ylecun setting the stage this morning. As AI infrastructure scales, security can't be an afterthought — it has to be foundational. #AI #Cybersecurity #HPC
Honored to deliver today's Distinguished Lecture at @GWU_ECE! Always a pleasure to return to Washington and reconnect with old friends like @TarekElGhazawi. Great energy and fantastic questions from the students and faculty. Thank you for the warm welcome! #GWU #HPC
Beautiful day in the Lehigh Valley serving on the @LehighU Electrical and Computer Engineering Department's Advisory Council. Hard to beat Linderman Library as a meeting backdrop!
Yesterday @NJIT held AI Exploration Day: classes paused, 100+ student presentations, autonomous robots, industry panels with AWS/Google/NVIDIA/Cisco/Dell, and a campus-wide conversation about what AI demands of a university.

Today marks 41 years since my Eagle Scout Board of Review on March 7, 1985. The values of Scouting — leadership, service, and preparedness — have guided me throughout my career in computing and academia. Once an Eagle, Always an Eagle. 🦅 #EagleScout #NESA
Attending the Computing Research Association (CRA) Board meeting at The Watergate Hotel—where the walls have heard many important conversations, and today's about the future of computing research is no exception. #ComputingResearch
The future of AI infrastructure might be above our heads, not beneath our feet. Discussed with @CNN why moving data centers to orbit isn't just Musk's vision—it's becoming a necessity as we exceed Earth's power generation capacity. @chrisidore edition.cnn.com/2026/02/04/b...
Excited to speak about data science to the Sigma Xi community at Portland State University (Oregon) today! It's a bit rainy, but at least it's warm.
Happy to be giving today's Sigma Xi Distinguished Lecture at University of Portland (Oregon) and will be speaking on solving global grand challenges.
Enjoyed reading @OliverAlvaRod 's insights in the Chapel "7 Questions" series! Oliver shares his perspective on parallel programming, #HPC, and the future of Chapel. Great follow-up to my own interview last year. #ChapelLang

Honored to receive the IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems award at #SC25 for my time as Editor-in-Chief (2013-2017). Grateful to the exceptional authors, reviewers, and editorial board who made those years so rewarding. 🙏 Pictured here with current EIC, Xian-He Sun.
Great catching up with IEEE @ComputerSociety President Hironori Washizaki @ SC25 today! Always energizing to discuss the future of computing and HPC with fellow IEEE leaders. Looking forward to continued collaboration advancing our field. #SC25 #IEEEComputerSociety
Great to see my former PhD student Oliver Alvarado Rodriguez presenting Arkouda at the @HPE booth at #SC25! Proud of his journey from @NJIT to making an impact in large-scale data science at HPE. The future of HPC is bright! 🚀
Honored to be named an HPCwire Legend today at #SC25 for building the first Linux-based supercomputer. What started as a bold experiment in accessible, cost-effective HPC became the dominant architecture for supercomputers worldwide.
Excited to be back at #SC25 — around 35 years of attending the Supercomputing conference! 🔥🤯
The HPC community continues to inspire with its innovation, collaboration, and vision for the future. Here’s to many more breakthroughs ahead! #HPC #Supercomputing
Productive ADSA Board meeting today at the Sloan Foundation in Rockefeller Center, NYC. Thanks to @MicaelaParker for her leadership as we chart the future of academic data science & AI education and research. Important work happening in this space! #ADSA #DataScience
🎉 Congratulations to Candy Culhane on receiving the prestigious George Cotter Award at #CLSAC2025!
Spoke with @MarketWatch about NVIDIA's $100B OpenAI investment. This isn't bubble behavior—it's strategic infrastructure building and vertical integration across the AI stack. We're witnessing AI infrastructure mature as a legitimate asset class.

Shared my thoughts with @TechStrongAI on the strategic implications of Nvidia's $5B investment in Intel. This partnership is about more than chips—it's about supply chain resilience, reducing geopolitical risk, and strengthening US semiconductor independence. 🔗 techstrong.ai/articles/nvi...
Just had a great discussion with @ReversingLabs about CISA's new procurement tool for third-party software risk management (TPSRM). The challenges are real, but so are the opportunities to innovate. 🔐
