Ulrike Meier Yang is a computer scientist in the Center for Applied Scientific Computing at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Her research interests are numerical algorithms, particularly algebraic multigrid methods, parallel computing, performance evaluation and software design. Prior to joining LLNL in 1998, she worked in the Center for Supercomputing Research and Development at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (1985-1995) and in the Central Institute of Applied Mathematics at the Research Centre Juelich at Juelich, Germany (1983-1985). She earned her Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1995 and a Diplom in mathematics at the Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany, in 1983.

Dr. Falgout (Rob) is a computational mathematician at CASC and the project leader for the Scalable Linear Solvers Project and software effort hypre. His work is focused primarily on the development of multilevel methods, as well as the software design and parallel computing issues related to delivering these methods to the scientific simulation community.

Dr. Falgout earned his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics at the University of Virginia in 1991 under the direction of James Ortega and joined Lawrence Livermore as a Postdoc that same year. He worked initially on the development of concurrent BLAS algorithms for dense matrix algebra, and later served as the technical leader for the ParFlow Project. He also served as the section leader for the Numerical Algorithms Section and as the Research Program Manager for the ASC Institute for Terascale Simulation. He is on the editorial boards for the SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing and the journal Numerical Linear Algebra with Applications.
