*Abstract:*  tba

*Biography: *Professor Rick Stevens is internationally known for work in
high-performance computing, collaboration and visualization technology, and
for building computational tools and web infrastructures to support
large-scale genome and metagenome analysis for basic science and infectious
disease research. A current focus is the national initiatives for Exascale
computing and Artificial Intelligence (AI). He is the Associate Laboratory
Director at Argonne National Laboratory, and a Professor of Computer
Science at the University of Chicago. In addition, he is the principle
investigator of the NIH-NIAID funded PATRIC Bioinformatics Resource Center,
the Exascale Computing Project (ECP) Exascale Deep Learning and Simulation
Enabled Precision Medicine for Cancer project, and the predicitive models
pilot of the DOE-NCI funded Joint Design of Advanced Computing Solutions
for Cancer (JDACS4C) project. Over the past twenty years, he and his
colleagues have developed the SEED, RAST, MG-RAST, and ModelSEED genome
analysis and bacterial modeling servers that have been used by tens of
thousands of users to annotate and analyze more than 250,000 microbial
genomes and metagenomic samples.
