Computing (NIAC), Andrew wears at least two hats: Laboratory Fellow at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Affiliate Professor in the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering. As a dual-appointee between UW and PNNL Andrew also has the title of “UW-PNNL Distinguished Faculty Fellow.” By spanning a university and a national laboratory he has the opportunity to work on basic research questions and then reduce those results to practice. His primary research interest is High Performance Computing, interpreted broadly. Of particular interest throughout most of his career has been scalable graph algorithms. He has also had a side interest in computational photography, which turned out to be surprising fruitful.
