LSU’s Center for Computation and Technology had new interim co-directors appointed Thursday.
Taking over the center are professors Stephen Beck and Jorge Pullin.
Beck and Pullin will jointly lead the center while LSU starts an international search to replace Ed Seidel, who recently accepted a job as the National Science Foundation’s cyber-infrastructure director.
The Center for Computation and Technology is an interdisciplinary center using advanced computational resources to aid university research and develop solutions benefiting both academia and industry.
Beck leads the CCT Laboratory for Creative Arts & Technologies and is professor of composition and computer music in the LSU School of Music.
Pullin specialized in theoretical physics in the LSU department of physics and astronomy.
He also is director of the Horace Hearne Institute for Theoretical Physics.
Both men have worked within the center since its inception in 2003.
The search committee will be led by College of Basic Sciences Dean Kevin Carman with co-chairman Joel Tohline, professor of physics and astronomy.
Both Beck and Pullin will be involved in the search process.
