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 has involved 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 recently (Spring 2007) taught ECE 586, Upper Atmospheric Physics II, and has frequently served as an advisor to undergraduate research students. A record of the students' 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.
