JUIT, Waknaghat, March 14, 2024
The Society for Industrial and applied mathematics (SIAM) JUIT chapter hosted a captivating lecture by Dr. David A. Bader,a distinguished Professor at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. Dr. Bader, a SIAM fellow and renowned researcher, delved into the fascinating world of big data analytics using massive-scale graphs.
Dr. Bader’s accomplishments are a testament to his exceptional career. He has co-authored over 300 scholarly papers, garnered best paper awards at top conferences , and currently serves on the leadership team of Northeast Big data innovation Hub.
His influence extends beyond academia, as evidenced by his recognition as a technology influencer and his pioneering role in building the first Linux supercomputer, a development credited with revolutionizing highs performance computing .Dr. Bader’s biography further illuminates his remarkable career. He has served as a lead scientist in numerous DARPA programs, programs known for fostering groundbreaking research, and is a recipient of prestigious awards, including the NVIDIA AI Lab (NVAIL) award and a Facebook Research AI Hardware/Software Co-Design award.
The session offered a unique glimpse into Dr. Bader’s research at the NJIT Bader Lab.
He specifically discussed open-source libraries, Arkouda and Arachne, designed for large-scale graph data analytics. Arkouda provides a powerful foundation for graph analytics , while Arachne, an extension built on Arkouda, offers highs performance implementations of graph kernels using the Chapel programming language. These tools empower researchers to tackle complex data analysis challenges that would be intractable with traditional methods. The audience had the invaluable opportunity to engage with Dr. Bader through a question and answer session, further enhancing their understanding of the presented topics and fostering meaningful dialogue.
