DICE Leadership:
- Richard Marciano: Executive Director
One of the leaders of the Data Intensive Cyber Environments (DICE) team, he was previously the director of the Sustainable Archives and Library Technologies (SALT) Laboratory and DICE lead scientist at the San Diego Supercomputer Center. The SALT Lab is an interdisciplinary unit focused on developing information technology strategies and conducting research in digital materials and records collection and preservation. Marciano coordinates collaborations between RENCI and SILS in the areas of data management, digital archiving and long-term data preservation. He holds a Ph.D. and MS in computer science from the University of Iowa. - Reagan Moore: Director
Reagan W. Moore is RENCI’s chief scientist for Data Intensive Cyber Environments (DICE), coordinating collaborative research efforts between RENCI and the DICE group in the UNC Chapel Hill School of Information and Library Science (SILS) in areas such as the development of data grids, digital libraries, and preservation environments. Moore is also a professor with SILS. Prior to his RENCI and UNC appointments, he was the director of data and knowledge systems at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at the University of California, San Diego. Moore came to UNC Chapel Hill in August 2008 along with other members of the DICE research team. The team is known worldwide for its expertise in the development of digital data technologies, including open source software that enables sharing of data in collaborative research, publication of data in digital libraries, and preservation of data in persistent archives for use by future generations. Moore holds a Ph.D. in plasma physics from the University of California, San Diego. - Arcot Rajasekar: Director of Research and Technology
Arcot Rajasekar is chief scientist for data grid technologies at RENCI and another leader of the DICE team in UNC’s School of Information and Library Science (SILS). He was the director of the Data Grids Technology Group at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) and is the lead designer of the Integrated Rule-Oriented Data System (iRods), a data grid system and open-source approach to managing digital data. Rajasekar leads data grid initiatives that involve both RENCI and SILS. He holds a Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Maryland and has multiple publications in the areas of logic programming, deductive databases, data grids, digital library and persistent archives. He is also a co-author of the book, “Foundations of Disjunctive Logic Programming.”
