Board Of Visitors

With the rapid developments in advanced computing technologies and their adoption in all fields of science, it is crucial that TACC is accurately guided by the needs of science and society to ensure that we achieve the greatest possible success. Therefore, we have assembled a Board of Visitors to help steer the center in the next phase of its growth.

The BoV members help the center's director and leadership team pilot the evolution of TACC's vision and strategy, and execute the center's initiatives. BoV members support the mission of TACC by identifying and recommending new opportunities in advanced computational research and development; contributing experience and guidance that enhances TACC's overall growth; and reviewing the existing activities of the center and providing constructive suggestions for enhancing impact and effectiveness.

The TACC Board of Visitors has nine members who are appointed to two-year terms with the option of reappointment at the end of each term. We look forward to working with them to continue to expand TACC's reach in the community and to enhance our impact on science, technology and society.
