David A. Bader is a Distinguished Professor and founder of the Department of Data Science and inaugural Director of the Institute for Data Science at New Jersey Institute of Technology, following his role as founding Professor and Chair of Georgia Tech's School of Computational Science and Engineering. An appointed member of the NIH National Heart, Blood, and Lung Institute Advisory Council and elected Board Member of the Computing Research Association, Bader is a Fellow of IEEE, ACM, AAAS, and SIAM who has received the IEEE Sidney Fernbach Award, induction into the University of Maryland's Innovation Hall of Fame (2022) and the Mimms Museum's Hall of Fame (2025), and the 2025 Heatherington Award for Technological Innovation. He advises the White House on initiatives including the National Strategic Computing Initiative and Future Advanced Computing Ecosystem, focusing his research at the intersection of high-performance computing and applications in cybersecurity, massive-scale analytics, and computational genomics, with over 400 scholarly papers and best paper awards from ISC, IEEE HPEC, and IEEE/ACM SC. As lead scientist for DARPA programs including High Productivity Computing Systems with IBM, Ubiquitous High Performance Computing with NVIDIA, Anomaly Detection at Multiple Scales, Power Efficiency Revolution For Embedded Computing Technologies, Hierarchical Identify Verify Exploit, and Software-Defined Hardware, Bader has also received an NVIDIA AI Lab award and a Facebook Research AI Hardware/Software Co-Design award. He served as Editor-in-Chief of both ACM Transactions on Parallel Computing and IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems and chairs the Northeast Big Data Innovation Hub's Seed Fund Committee. Bader received the inaugural University of Maryland ECE Distinguished Alumni Award (2012) and Georgia Tech's Outstanding Senior Faculty Research Award (2014), with memberships in Tau Beta Pi, Eta Kappa Nu, and Omicron Delta Kappa. His revolutionary development of the first Linux supercomputer in 1998 catalyzed the high-performance computing revolution with an estimated $100 trillion economic impact, recognized by the Computer History Museum as creating the architecture now predominant in major supercomputers. A Graph500 List co-founder for benchmarking "Big Data" platforms and former director of both the Sony-Toshiba-IBM Center for the Cell Broadband Engine Processor and an NVIDIA GPU Center of Excellence, Bader is celebrated as a "RockStar" of High Performance Computing by InsideHPC and featured in HPCwire's People to Watch.
