The SAGA Team

There are certainly way more people involved with the broader SAGA effort than we are able to list on this website. The people you'll find below are the people who are actively involved in the SAGA specification and in the development of the C++ and Java implementation of the SAGA standard.

Center for Computation and Technology (LSU)

Shantenu

Shantenu Jha (sjha <at> cct <dot> lsu <dot> edu)

Shantenu Jha is the PI of the SAGA project, was a member of the design team that came up with the first SAGA specification and helped initiate the SAGA-RG at the OGF. He currently serves as chair of SAGA-RG at the OGF and leads the SAGA application development efforts at the CCT. He is currently the Director for Cyberinfrastructure development at LSU.
Ole

Ole Weidner (oweidner <at> cct <dot> lsu <dot> edu)

Ole Weidner is the Technical Project Manager for the SAGA development efforts at CCT and a Ph.D. student at LSU's Computer Science Department. Before joining CCT and the SAGA Team in 2006 he worked at the Max-Planck-Institute for Gravitational Physics in Potsdam as a software developer for the Grid Application Toolkit (JavaGAT).
Hartmut

Hartmut Kaiser (hkaiser <at> cct <dot> lsu <dot> edu)

Hartmut Kaiser is a secretary of the SAGA-RG at the OGF and a co-author of the SAGA specification developed by this RG. He leads and substantially contributes to the design and development of the SAGA C++ reference implementation currently done at CCT in conjunction with the VU Amsterdam.
andre

Andre Merzky (amerzky <at> cct <dot> lsu <dot> edu)

Andre Merzky received his diploma in Particle Physics in 1998 at the Humboldt University in Berlin. He has worked since on Grid-related topics concerning data management and visualization, and is active in the Applications Area of the Open Grid Forum (OGF). Although located in far eastern Germany, he is fundedby the Louisiana State University to continue his work on SAGA.

 
bety

Bety Rodriguez-Milla

Bety Rodriguez-Milla is the Scientific Coordinator of the LONI institute. She earned her Ph.D. from Syracuse University in Physics. Her research interests are in computational physics and condensed matter physics. More specifically, dynamics and statistical mechanics of disordered systems. She is an independent auditor for the SAGA project. All SAGA developers fear her!

Andre Luckow

Andre Luckow is a consultant in the SAGA Group. He studied Computer Science at the Potsdam University where he obtained his doctorate degree in 2009. His main research interests are: distributed systems, fault tolerance, computational sciences and programming languages.
michael

Michael Miceli

Michael Miceli is a Computer Science undergraduate interested in algorithm analysis, data structures, high performance computing, and visualizations.  Currently he is working under Dr. Kaiser, Dr. Jha, and Ole Weidner to design applications creating simple applications to illustrate the power of the SAGA programming paradigm.
chris

Chris Miceli

Chris Miceli is a Undergraduate of Computer Science at Louisiana State University interested in implementation of algorithms and resource management. Currently he is developing a test suite for the SAGA C++ Implementation using The Boost Libraries and template metaprogramming.
