Ümit V. Çatalyürek is a professor of computer science at the Georgia Institute of Technology, and adjunct professor in department of Biomedical Informatics at the Ohio State University. He is known for his work on graph analytics, parallel algorithms for scientific applications, data-intensive computing, and large scale genomic and biomedical applications. He was the director of the High Performance Computing Lab at the Ohio State University. He was named Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2016[1] for contributions to combinatorial scientific computing and parallel computing.

Education

[edit]

Çatalyürek completed his B.S. in Computer Engineering and Information Science at the Bilkent University in the year 1992 and received his Ph.D. in Computer Engineering and Information Science from the Bilkent University in 2000, under the supervision of Cevdet Aykanat. His dissertation was published by the Bilkent University as Hypergraph Models for Sparse Matrix Partitioning and Reordering.[2]

Career

[edit]

Çatalyürek began his career in 1992 as a research associate for Department of Computer Engineering and Information Science, Bilkent University, Turkey. He then joined as visiting research scientist at UMIACS, Research institute in College Park at the University of Maryland and research associate at Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions in 1999. Catalyurek later moved to Columbus to join The Ohio State University in 2001, as assistant professor, where he remained at this position until 2007 before promoted as associate professor in the department of Biomedical Informatics. He served different positions at The Ohio State University before joining as a professor at Georgia Institute of Technology in 2016, where he later became Associate Chair for Academic Programs at the Georgia Institute of Technology.[2]

Çatalyürek is Editor-in-Chief of Elsevier's Parallel Computing journal. He also served as an editorial board member for IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Computing, the Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing, and the SIAM Journal of Scientific Computing.
