Bethany Alum Shawn T. Brown ‘97, Ph.D., has joined Pittsburgh
Supercomputing Center as director of public health applications. In
this role, he will lead a new group at PSC whose research addresses the
problems of predicting disease spread via large-scale agent-based
modeling, vaccine supply chain logistics in developing countries, and
public health decision-making support via high performance computational
modeling.
This position is a unique one for a high-performance
computing facility such as PSC, and is part of a general trend to use
supercomputing to address "big data" problems in the life and public
health sciences.
