David Wallom
Associate Director - Innovation01865 610601
David Wallom is Associate Director - Innovation of the Oxford e-Research Centre. This has developed interests into other areas such as Green IT, for which he is the departmental representative on a JISC institutional exemplar project, and institutional repositories that he sees as a key way of ensuring that the digital legacy of current research is preserved for future generations. The grid has also allowed the building of relationships with specific departmentally represented projects, including ClimatePrediction.NET and OptIPuter. He also leads the centres energy theme with two projects on SmartGrid.
He is also the Technical Director of the UK National Grid Service, a role that will be evolving steadily over the next 12 months. From the definition of key milestones in the technical roadmap of the project as it moves to include and improve its provision of service based interfaces, through to the growth of the partnership program to include resources and users from institutions that until now have not been well connected to the project. This will also include key growth in the integration of regional grids that will underpin the NGS mission. As part of this he also currently chairs the UK e-Science Engineering Task Force, whose mission to report on the technical innovations that have been the definitive outputs from the UK e-Science programme including presentations and technical reports.
David currently leads the Integrated Instrumentation and Volunteer Computing Groups.
