Mark L. Green, Ph.D.
Vice President, Systems Integration

Dr. Green received his B.S. in Chemical Engineering, M.S. in Water Resources and Hydraulics, and Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from the State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo. Dr. Green completed his post-doctoral research at the Computer Science and Engineering Department and the Center for Computational Research SUNY Buffalo developing Portal/Gateway user interfaces, data and computational grid middleware, and cyberinfrastructure before becoming a staff member. Dr. Green served as Head of Cyberinfrastructure while at the Center for Computational Research acting as lead architect and developer of the grid computing group.

Dr. Green is an expert in the design, conceptualization, and production of computational and data grid/cloud applications, dashboards, visualization, monitoring and analysis tools, distributed database integration, and grid Portals/Gateways. Some of Dr. Green's recent work involved the development and implementation of Grid-enabling Application Templates (GATs) for scientific and engineering application grid Portals/Gateways. This cyberinfrastructure specialized in the integration and deployment of user community applications and the consolidation of complex, heterogeneous and homogeneous environments into large-scale coordinated grid-enabled compute and storage element resources which led to the Multi-tiered Portal Architecture (MPA) development. He has also spent a significant portion of his career developing and optimizing large-scale high-performance distributed and parallel processing applications involving process models, analysis models, visualization and geographic information systems.
