Dr. Rajiv Ramnath, Program Officer for the NSF Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (OAC) and Professor of Practice in Computer Science and Engineering at Ohio State University, will be visiting RENCI on Monday, June 25th to provide a discussion-based talk from 9-10am.
Abstract
After I re-entered academia in 2002 after 11 years in the computing industry, I spent the last 16 years working with local industry in Central Ohio on education, training, project and research initiatives. This talk is intended to motivate a conversation around how to develop long-term sustainable collaborations with industry, in a manner that uniquely serves a public university’s academic mission with respect to computing, and, in turn, provides unique value to its industry partners.
Speaker Bio
Rajiv Ramnath is a Professor of Practice in Computer Science and Engineering at The Ohio State University where he has extensively collaborated with industry and other departments on projects and research and education initiatives. Prior to this he worked for many years in industry, leading government-funded research and commercial product development. His industry R&D lab, almost unbeknownst to him, turned into a startup, so Rajiv ended up as an entrepreneur! In addition to his academic work, he has also advised large and small businesses and startups on computing and information technology strategies. Rajiv is also a Program Director for software programs at the Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (OAC) at the National Science Foundation. At NSF, Rajiv seeks to further OAC’s mission of making scientific software an integral and sustainable part of the national scientific cyberinfrastructure ecosystem.
