EXECUTIVE/ Seasoned senior administrator (chancellor level) and distinguished academic with SYNERGISTIC experience overseeing academic, research, and economic development activities at the EXPERIENCE university campus, system, and federal agency levels. I have a track record of initiating and leading bold projects combining research, education and innovation that move entire organizations forward with local and international impact. My experience working in Europe, Illinois, Louisiana, Russia, and Washington gives me an unusually broad perspective on best practices in university education at the world level.
University of Illinois (2014-present). Now in my sixth year at Illinois I have significantly advanced UIUC, the entire university system and state of Illinois in roles I have been asked to play: • Vice President for Economic Development and Innovation (VPEDI, previously as Vice President for Research or VPR). In a chancellor-level position, I work with the University of Illinois System President, campus chancellors, and senior leadership of UIUC, UIC, and UIS, as a key part of a small executive team that leads all aspects of the university system. I initiated and now oversee development of the Illinois Innovation Network (IIN) and the Discovery Partners Institute (DPI), a new billion- dollar class education and research campus research in Chicago (see below). I also oversee the Offices of Technology Management (OTM-Urbana and OTM-Chicago), and Illinois Ventures, a university-operated venture fund, that has attracted over $1B in co-funding over its history. Until July, 2019, I also oversaw the Research Park in Urbana with 120 companies in 17 buildings and Enterprise Works Incubator in Urbana, incubating companies that have attracted over $1B in venture funding. • As VPR, VPEDI and Interim DPI Director I conceived, spearheaded, and led team that secured a $500M state appropriation for the Illinois Innovation Network (IIN) and within it the Discovery Partners Institute (DPI), a new multi-university, interdisciplinary education, research and innovation campus being built on a 62-acre site in downtown Chicago. DPI is a key hub of the IIN connecting university hubs across Illinois. I have worked closely with governors (Rauner (republican) and Pritzker (democrat)), Chicago mayors, state government and business leaders, and leadership of all the dozen four-year public universities across the state to lay the foundation for a new model for higher education that deeply integrates research, education, and innovation at an unusually large scale. Students work side-by-side with faculty and industry partners to address interdisciplinary grand challenges and are trained in entrepreneurship. Other partners include the University of Chicago, Northwestern, Tel Aviv and Hebrew Universities, and others in Israel, Mexico, Germany, the UK, and beyond. I have led the development of each of these partnerships and continue to oversee the IIN and within it, the DPI. • As Director of NCSA, I led one of the most important international centers for the applications of scientific computing across all research disciplines. With a staff of over H. Edward Seidel
200, NCSA has been at the forefront of scientific computing for over three decades. As home to the National Petascale Computing Facility, NCSA is also host to Blue Waters, one of the world’s most powerful academic computing facilities. I re-positioned NCSA as a center for transdisciplinary research and education, and economic development (with faculty from all areas of the university) and rebuilt and expanded the NCSA Industry program. With campus, national and international leaders in academia, government, and industry I created new national organizations, such as the National Data Service Consortium and Midwest Big Data Hub. I served on the UIUC Chancellor’s Leadership Council. I led development of a concept for a cross-university institute for data science, the Illinois Data Science Initiative that has now secured $25M in private funding in addition to state funding as part of the IIN initiative.
Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (2012-14). As Senior Vice-President for Research and Innovation at Skoltech, and as a professor, as the senior academic officer of the university, I was responsible for building the overall education, research and innovation environment of this new university in Russia. Working closely with the Skoltech president and other university leaders, as well as our primary international partner, MIT, the Skolkovo Foundation, the Russian Federation (Deputy Prime Minister and ministry level), industry, and other international university partners, I had the central role to build a new, 21st century, interdisciplinary university.
Responsibilities included building completely new, innovative transdisciplinary academic programs involving an array of industry and world-class university partners, which I led. Overseeing an initial 5-year, billion-dollar Skoltech research and innovation budget, I led the creation of 10 international Centers for Research, Education and Innovation, or CREIs (each of which is now operating with 50-100 faculty, staff, students), attracting and hiring faculty, building campus-wide research infrastructure, and creating education, innovation and industrial partnership programs. I also created initial offices of sponsored research (Grants and Contracts Office) and knowledge transfer (KTO), forged numerous international partnerships with Harvard, MIT, and many other partners.
National Science Foundation (2008-2012). As NSF Assistant Director for Mathematical and Physical Sciences, I created and/or oversaw US national programs in Astronomy, Chemistry, Materials Science, Mathematics, and Physics; annual budget of approximately $1.4 billion. In addition to national research programs, I also oversaw development, selection, construction, and operations of billions of dollars of large international science facilities (more than a dozen MREFC facilities, e.g., telescopes, accelerators, light sources, etc.). As NSF Director of the Office of Cyberinfrastructure, I created and/or oversaw US national programs in HPC, software, data, networking, learning and workforce development, and computational and data-enabled science (CDS&E) and applications in all areas of science and engineering.
At NSF I reported to the NSF Director and worked closely with senior NSF leadership across all science and engineering areas to develop coherent national science strategy and interdisciplinary programs, creating many programs including NSF’s Flagship CIF21 framework for 21st century science and engineering I worked with National Science Board, President’s Office of Science and Technology Policy, and leadership of other federal H. Edward Seidel
agencies (DOE, NIH, NIST, etc.). I co-chaired NSTC Committee of Science subcommittees on Physical Science (PSSC) and Quantum Information Science (IWG) and Big Data; led other interagency committees on physical sciences, data, policy; worked with international agencies in Europe, Asia, South America, Africa coordinating major science investments; worked closely with leading university presidents, provosts and vice- presidents to support research and education at a national level.
Louisiana State University (2003-2012). As founder and Director of Center for Computation & Technology (CCT) at level of an “interdisciplinary dean”, with $9.5 million annual budget, I created a major new interdisciplinary academic, education (graduate and undergraduate), and research unit at LSU, now with over 140 FTEs (students, staff, and about 40 faculty from 13 departments across 5 colleges at LSU). CCT serves as important engine for statewide academic and economic development. Working closely with LSU Chancellor, reporting to the Provost (in an interdisciplinary dean capacity), and Vice Chancellor for Research (as a research center director), I established LSU-wide research focus areas, new educational programs, joint mentoring, promotion and tenure policies, and recruited over three dozen new faculty in areas from mathematics and computer science, numerous science and engineering disciplines, business, music, and other disciplines.
As CCT director, I had strong support of Governor Foster (republican) to build a centerpiece of his Vision 20/20 initiative. Support for these initiatives continued and grew under Governor Blanco (democrat). I was chief scientific officer and initiator of Governor Blanco’s $50M Louisiana Optical Network Initiative (LONI), connecting the state’s six research universities and two medical centers across Louisiana. This activity had important impact on statewide scientific, academic, and industrial competitiveness, leading to new and deep collaboration across the academic research base of the state and to many new federal grants (well over $100 million, including an $80 million BTOP award, a $16 million NIH grant, and a $12 million NSF grant) and industrial partnerships (e.g., EA Sports supported the development of the CCT building to open its R&D activities in Louisiana). Was founder and leader of the statewide LONI Institute, a $15M research collaborative across six Louisiana Universities (LSU, Tulane, ULL, SUBR, UNO, LA Tech); led efforts to jointly recruit a dozen faculty in areas of computational sciences, biology, and materials science across the entire membership of the state-wide institute.
During my four years at NSF I continued to work to advance LSU as a professor.
Albert-Einstein-Institute (AEI) (1996-2005). As Professor (C3), I built and led a large research group at the Albert-Einstein-Institute (AEI) in Germany (roughly 25 faculty, staff, and students). This group was (and is today) a leading force in both the numerical study of Einstein’s equations and applications to study of black holes, gravitational waves, and relativistic astrophysics, and in development of algorithms, techniques and software for high performance computing, grid computing, visualization, and computational science. I led projects in optical network applications and remote visualization in Europe and served on related advisory and program committees.
I continued to work at AEI for two years after I moved to LSU, supervising AEI graduate students and postdocs and working hard to recruit my successor who started in 2005. H. Edward Seidel
University of Illinois (1989-1998). At the University of Illinois and NCSA early in my career, I led a strong research in numerical relativity, participated in two large Grand Challenge projects (NSF and NASA-funded, leading the Illinois component of both) and developed strong activities in computational science, supervising numerous postdocs, staff, and grad students.
I continued to work as a Visiting Professor at Illinois for several years after moving Germany in 1996, supervising a research group and overseeing several NSF and NASA grants there.
PUBLICATIONS As a rough measure of my research productivity, even with my heavy administrative burden of the last decade, as of summer, 2019 my h-index is 62, according to Google Scholar, with more than forty papers receiving more than 100 citations each.
GRANTS I most recently formed and led NSF’s Midwest Big Data Hub (2015-17), a public-private partnership across 11 states, but had to pass the PI role on to the incoming NCSA Director upon taking in the VP role at Illinois. Previously I was PI or Co-PI of numerous international scientific research projects in Europe and USA, 1993 – 2008, including NSF’s Blue Waters national petascale computing project, the EU Astrophysics Network and GridLab Projects (each involving more than 10 institutes in many countries across Europe), NASA and NSF Grand Challenge programs, DOE, NIH, Germany’s DFN and DFG, State of Louisiana, and other funding sources. Total funding record in excess of $250M (as PI or co-PI).
STUDENTS Supervisor of more than three-dozen research students, postdocs, and staff 1991 – 2008 at the University of Illinois, Max-Planck, University of Potsdam and LSU). Most are active in research (many have gone on to become successful in academia, from small colleges to Caltech), or have successfully moved to industry.
