Tim Cockerill is a Program Director at TACC. Tim is the Systems Engineer for the Leadership Class Computing Facility (LCCF) project. Tim also currently serves as the DesignSafe Deputy Project Director, providing a web-based platform supporting natural hazards research. Tim is co-PI on an NSF CC* award providing training and research support for underserved/under-resourced universities. Tim joined TACC in January, 2014, as the Director of Center Programs responsible for program and project management across the Center's portfolio of awards and subsequently became Director of User Services from 2018 to 2023. Prior to joining TACC, he was the Associate Project Director for XSEDE and the TeraGrid Project Manager. Before entering the world of high performance computing in 2003, Tim spent 10 years working in startup companies aligned with his research interests in gallium arsenide materials and semiconductor lasers. Prior to that, Tim earned his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and was a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department.
