This Weekend, ORNL’s Phil Andrews passed away of a sudden and unexpected heart attack. Phil Andrews worked at both UT and ORNL in the leadership of the NICS, including the NSF funded Kraken Supercomputer.
During his career at NICS, the supercomputing centers at San Diego and Pittsburgh and at GA Technologies in San Diego, he authored approximately 40 papers on grid and data intensive computing, documentation and visualization techniques, theoretical plasma physics and nonlinear dynamics. Andrews was involved in high performance computing for more than 30 years in management, software development and as a user. He had a doctorate in theoretical physics from Princeton University, an M.A. from Purdue University and a B.A. in applied mathematics from Cambridge University, England.
