Professor of Computer Science, Informatics, Physics, Indiana University.
Professor of Computer Science, Informatics, Physics. Indiana University; Director of Community Grid Laboratory; Pervasive Technology Laboratories at Indiana University. Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics from Cambridge University (1967). Fox has worked in a variety of applied computer science fields with his work on computational physics evolving into contributions to parallel computing initially involving the hypercube architecture. He has worked on the computing issues in several application areas - currently focusing on Earthquake Science. Over the last three years, his major activity has been the use of Object Web technologies to build collaboration systems and their application in an integrated approach to synchronous and asynchronous distance education. He has led activities to develop prototype high performance Java and Fortran compilers and their runtime support. He helped set up the Java Grande forum to encourage use of Java in large-scale computations. At Indiana University, Fox will focus on Grid Technology to build electronic communities linking resources and people. This will involve universities, industry and government. Examples include the support of distance education and distributed scientific research.
