Steven R. Lantz
Senior Research Associate
Steve has been with CAC (previously the Cornell Theory Center) since 1991, initially as a postdoctoral
associate, then as a member of Cornell’s research faculty. His work involves advising and training
users of Cornell’s high-performance computing facilities while engaging in computational research in
such diverse areas as turbulence, combustion, plasma physics, and optics. He serves as instructor for
CIS 4205, Effective Use of High Performance Computing (Spring ’09) and has also
taught ECE 586, Upper Atmospheric Physics II (Spring ’07). A record of his undergraduate
researchers’ accomplishments can be viewed at his
home page, which contains links to a number of
training materials authored by Dr. Lantz. He has done occasional consulting work for Corning Incorporated.
