Background

Welcome to my website! I'm Ian Kelley, a Research Fellow and Ph.D. candidate at Cardiff University. I have been working in computing since I graduated from the University of Washington in 1999. During this time, I have held positions at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Germany), Louisiana State University (USA), and most recently, Cardiff University (UK).

My main areas of expertise lie in Grid computing, Web portal development, data management, and peer-to-peer networking. I focus much of my research on helping to bridge the gap between end-users and the services and tools that are being developed within the research community.

I am currently working on the EU Framework 7 EDGI project (http://edgi-project.eu) on the data management issues involved in transitioning jobs from Service Grids (e.g., Supercomputers) to Desktop Grids (e.g., your home PC).
