Jay Alameda is the lead for the Astrophysical Sciences Project Office at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications. In this role, he works with the NCSA Astronomy Director Professor Joaquin Vieira to coordinate projects across a group of astronomy research scientists to deliver results on projects focused on astronomical transients, astronomical surveys, cosmology, and star formation markers via line intensity mapping projects.  He has also served on the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) project which was a collaboration of NSF-funded high performance computing (HPC) resource providers, working to provide a common set of services, including the provisioning of advanced user support, to the science and engineering community. Jay led the Extended Support for Training, Education, and Outreach Service of XSEDE, which provides the technical expertise to support Training, Education, and Outreach activities organized by XSEDE.  More recently, Jay led community building and engagement activities with the ACCESS Program Coordination Office to coordinate community building activities across the 5 projects comprising ACCESS.  Finally, Jay was the lead of the NSF funded SI2 project, “A Productive and Accessible Development Workbench for HPC Applications Using the Eclipse Parallel Tools Platform”, which improved the Eclipse Parallel Tools Platform (PTP) to serve as a platform for development of HPC applications.
