Dr Steven Newhouse
Steven Newhouse is Director of the Open Middleware Infrastructure
Institute UK, a collaborative e-Science project between the
University of Southampton (where he is based), the University
of Edinburgh, and the University of Manchester. He is a member
of the Global Grid Forum (GGF) Steering group, where he is responsible
for Application Standards, and is on the management or supervisory
boards of the Grid Operational Support Centre (GOSC), AstroGrid
and GridPP. He remains active in the Open Grid Services Architecture
Working Group (OGSA-WG) of the GGF.
Before moving to Southampton in June 2004 he was the Sun Lecturer
in e-Science in the Department of Computing at Imperial College
London and Technical Director of the London
e-Science Centre (LeSC) also based at Imperial. His early
research work was in Computational Underwater Acoustic Modelling
at the Department of Aeronautics at Imperial College. He moved
to the Imperial College Parallel Computing Centre in 1998 where
he developed the Centre’s research and equipment portfolio
through collaborative projects with the College’s main
computational users. He led the Centre’s research activity
in ICENI
– the Imperial College e-Science Networked Infrastructure
– a service oriented architecture built using Java and
Jini that provided a gateway to other infrastructures.
