Kerstin Kleese van Dam (2018 Woman of the Year Award in Science winner Brookhaven Town, 2006 British Female Innovators and Inventors Silver Award) is the Director of the Computational Science Initiative (CSI) at Brookhaven National Laboratory, leading BNL’s computer science and mathematics R&D portfolio reaching from leading edge research to operational infrastructure provision. CSI research focuses on data analytics at scale – novel hardware to new AI and applied mathematics methods for science, exascale computational modeling and quantum information science – quantum networking to quantum machine learning. Our new 60,000 sq.ft. data center houses a highly specialized infrastructure for data intensive and near real time computing at scale, supporting our core experiments at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL): Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) and Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN), as well as others worldwide such as Large Hadron Collider (LHC) ATLAS and Belle II. BNL hosts one of the largest scientific data centers in the world.

Expertise:
  • High Performance Computing
  • Metadata, Provenance, Reproducibility, Data Curation
  • Data Analysis
  • Exascale Performance Analysis 
  • Data and Computing Infrastructure
  • Project and Program Management
Her primary research interests are in the areas of scientific data management, curation, and exploitation using metadata and semantic technologies.

Kerstin has a B.S. and M.S. in Computer Science from Technical University in Berlin, Germany.
