Emerging Models and Technologies Cluster, CCF/CISE/NSF (2008-2009, 2018-now)Algorithmic Foundations Cluster, CCF/CISE/NSF (2009-2018)Administration: establishing new research programs, program oversight and management, program evaluation, planning and writing solicitations, cluster lead, representing own directorate and the whole of NSF at internal and external (interagency-level) meetings and committees.As a Cluster Lead (April 2009 - October 2012): coordinated the work of the Algorithmic Foundations cluster, containing three to six Program Directors---cluster budget, cluster-level documentation, solicitation revisions, proposal sorting/binning, panel oversight, point-of-contact.Established an all-new funding mechanism to allow direct hire of tenure-track and tenured faculty (NSF has many solicitations, but very few funding mechanisms), that premiered in the solicitation NSF 19-507.Research administration (by areas). Primary: quantum information science (including quantum computing, quantum communication). Secondary: algorithms, complexity, computational biology, computational geometry, nanocomputing, symbolic and numeric computing.Research administration (cross programs): CAREER, CISE-MPS Interdisciplinary Faculty Program in Quantum Information Science, CISE Pathways to Revitalized Undergraduate Computing Education (CPATH), Cyber-enabled Discovery and Innovation (CDI), Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), Expeditions in Computing, Nanoelectronics for 2020 and Beyond (NEB), National Robotics Initiative (NRI), Physics Frontiers Centers (PFC), RAISE on Enabling Quantum Leap: Transformational Advances in Quantum Systems (TAQS), Smart and Connected Communities (SCC), Smart and Connected Health (SCH), NSF/Intel Partnership on Visual and Experiential Computing (VEC).International-level research programs handled: Partnerships for International Research and Education (PIRE), United States-Israel Collaboration in Computer Science (USICCS).

Providing technical leadership and direction for the development of the software stack for quantum computers: compilers, simulators, verifiers, and visualization.Research Staff Member. Performing research in the areas of quantum compilation, quantum circuit design and optimization, quantum advantage, and quantum computer architectures.

Compiling for trapped ions QIP, quantum circuits, quantum algorithms.

Sabbatical from my permanent job at NSF.

Areas of research: quantum circuits and compilers, quantum computing, reversible logic.Major activities: built a fully externally funded QCirc research group, recruitment and management of group staff---programmers, graduate students, and undergraduate students; proposal writing and award execution; graduate and undergraduate student supervision.
