Arnold is an assistant professor in Department of Computer Science at University
of New Mexico. His research focuses on the performance and reliability of
extremely large scale systems with tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or
even millions of processing elements. Dorian earned his Ph.D. at the University
of Wisconsin, where he developed MRNet with Phil Roth and their advisor, Barton
Miller. He received M.S. and B.S. degrees from the University of Tennessee and
Regis University. Dorian also worked in the Innovative Computing Laboratory, directed
by Dr. Jack Dongarra, as technical lead of the NetSolve project, which won an
R&D Top 100 award in 2000. As a student scholar at the Lawrence Livermore
National Laboratory, Dorian (in collaboration with LLNL researchers) developed
the Stack Trace Analysis Tool for effectively debugging large scale applications.
On
a personal note, Dorian is originally from Belize and his wife, Jay, is from
Guam. They have two awesome kids, Denice and DJ. Apart from his family (and CS
of course) his greatest loves are sports (particularly basketball) and loud
music (particularly dancehall reggae).
