David A. Bader (born May 4, 1969) is a Professor, Chair of the School of Computational Science and Engineering, and Executive Director of High-Performance Computing in the Georgia Tech College of Computing. In addition, Bader was selected as the director of the first Sony Toshiba IBM Center of Competence for the Cell Processor at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He is an IEEE Fellow,, AAAS Fellow, National Science Foundation CAREER Award recipient and an IEEE Computer Society Distinguished Speaker. Bader is a leading expert in data sciences. His main areas of research are in at the intersection of high-performance computing and real-world applications, including cybersecurity, massive-scale analytics, and computational genomics.
Bader is an expert in the design and analysis of parallel and multicore algorithms for real-world applications such as those in cybersecurity and computational biology. He has won highly competitive awards from the National Science Foundation (NSF), IBM, Microsoft Research, Sony, and Sun Microsystems. Bader is also a Golden Core Member of the IEEE Computer Society (2010), and a recipient of the IEEE Computer Society Meritorious Service Award (2010). He has co-chaired a series of meetings, the IEEE International Workshop on High-Performance Computational Biology (HiCOMB), written several book chapters, and co-edited a special issue of the Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing on High-Performance Computational Biology. He has co-authored over 210 articles in peer-reviewed journals and conferences.

Career
From 1998 to 2005, he was a professor and Regents' Lecturer at The University of New Mexico. In 2005, Bader moved to Georgia Tech, where he is now a Full Professor. He has served on numerous conference program committees related to parallel processing, edited numerous journals, published numerous articles, and is a Fellow of the IEEE, Fellow of the AAAS, and Member of the ACM.
Bader serves on the Steering Committees of the International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS) and HiPC conferences, and was the General co-Chair for IPDPS in 2004--2005, and Vice General Chair for HiPC in 2002--2004. David has previously chaired several conference program committees, was the Program Chair for HiPC 2005, and a Program Vice-Chair for IPDPS 2006. Bader was the General Chair of the 24th IPDPS, was held on April 19-23, 2010 in Atlanta, Georgia. He served as the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (TPDS), from 2013-2017 and serves as an Associate Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing (JPDC). Bader has been an associate editor of several journals, including IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems, IEEE DSOnline, Parallel Computing, and the ACM Journal of Experimental Algorithmics, and has published over 210 articles in peer reviewed journals and conferences. From July 2003 to June 2007, Bader was also the chair of the IEEE Computer Society's Technical Committee on Parallel Processing.
In November 2006, Bader was selected by Sony, Toshiba, and IBM, to direct the first Center of Competence for the Cell Processor. Bader also serves on the Internet2 Research Advisory Council. Bader was elected as an IEEE Fellow in 2009. Since 2011, he has been working with the Georgia Tech Research Institute on the Proactive Discovery of Insider Threats Using Graph Analysis and Learning project. Dr. Bader also plays leadership roles in: Computing Research Association (CRA) Board, NSF Advisory Committee on Cyberinfrastructure, Council on Competitiveness High Performance Computing Advisory Committee, IEEE Computer Society Board of Governors and Editor-in-Chief, IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems.
On July 29, 2015, then-President of the United States Barak Obama announced the National Strategic Computing Initiative (NSCI). Bader was invited by the White House on October 20-21, 2015, to serve as a panelist at the White House's National Strategic Computing Initiative (NSCI) Workshop. Following this, the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) invited Bader to serve as a panelist at the NITRD High End Computing (HEC) Interagency Working Group (IWG) and Big Data Senior Steering Group (SSG) "Supercomputing and Big Data: From Collision to Convergence" Panel, at the 27th IEEE and ACM Supercomputing Conference (SC15), Austin, TX, November 18, 2015. On July 29, 2016, Bader was an invited attendee to the White House's National Strategic Computing Initiative (NSCI) Anniversary Workshop.
Bader co-founded Graph500 List, for benchmarking "Big Data" computing platforms.
Awards
He is an NSF CAREER Award recipient, an investigator on several NSF awards, a distinguished speaker in the IEEE Computer Society Distinguished Visitors Program, and is a member of the IBM PERCS team for the DARPA High Productivity Computing Systems program.
In 2011, he was named a Fellow Member of the AAAS and IEEE Fellow. He was also named a "Rock Star of High Performance Computing" by InsideHPC in 2011, and a member of "People to Watch" by HPC Wire in 2012 and 2014. He is an Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America and a Vigil Honoree in the Order of the Arrow.
