Dr. Avery's research is in experimental High Energy Physics and he participates in the CLEO experiment at Cornell University and the CMS experiment at CERN, Geneva. His interests include (1) decays of heavy quarks, (2) software, including OO methods and fitting algorithms, and (3) computing, especially distributed computing and Computational Grids.
Avery is the Director of two NSF funded Grid projects, GriPhyN and the International Virtual Data Grid Laboratory (iVDGL). Both projects are collaborations of computer scientists, physicists and astronomers conducting Grid research applied to several national and international experiments with massive computational and data needs.
