Svetlana Shasharina, Ph.D.,
Vice-President, Distributed Technologies

Dr. Svetlana Shasharina graduated from Moscow State University and received her Ph.D. from the General Physics Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Dr. Shasharina has worked on a number of computational science projects, and has published on the uses of object-oriented programming in scientific computing, distributed computing and the development of intuitive scientific modeling applications and libraries.

As a Senior Research Associate at the University of Colorado, Dr. Shasharina taught at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. At Tech-X Corp, Dr. Shasharina is a principal investigator of many projects, combining C++, Java and network programming and leading accelerator physics projects that include accelerator modeling and differential algebra. Dr. Shasharina also has extensive experience in distributed computing, CORBA, C++, Java, remote visualization, Web services and Grid technologies. She is also PI on projects for distributed data management and data interoperability in fusion science.
