Jennifer received her doctoral and master degrees in Computer Science and Engineering from University of California San Diego, where she worked with Fran Berman. She currently oversees the NSF Engagement and Performance Operations Center. Prior to joining TACC, she was director of the International Networks Program at Indiana University. She has also spent time as an NSF program officer, a senior staff member for Globus, and a program director at the IEEE Computer Society. She has held research appointments at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the University of Edinburgh, the University of Chicago, and Northwestern University.
At TACC, she will be responsible for promoting collaborations enabled through data networks within the region and with other national or international collaborations, with a strong emphasis on supporting use of the Texas networks (OTS and LEARN).
