James Abello received the PhD degree in Combinatorial Algorithms, from the University of California, San Diego, and the MS degree in Operating Systems from the University of California, Santa Barbara. He is the the recipient of a University of California President's Postdoctoral Fellowship, a SIAM Young Investigator Award and a UCSB Outstanding Teaching Prize. James is the co-editor of External Memory Algorithms, Vol. 50 of the AMS-DIMACS series(with Jeff Vitter, 1999) and of the Kluwer Handbook of Massive Data Sets(with P. Pardalos and M. Resende, 2002). James has published in Discrete Mathematics, Combinatorial and Computational Geometry, Algorithms and Data Structures, Massive Data Sets, Algorithm Animation and Visualization.
He has worked on the development of software systems like: GraphZoom( with J. Korn and M.Kreuseler), MGV(A Massive Graph Visualizer, with J. Korn), AGE(An Animated Graph Environment, with T. Veatch), Mirage(An interpreted language for algorithm animation, with C. Smith), and a Quasi-Clique Extractor(with S. Sudarsky). James has held several academic positions and has been a senior member of technical staff at Bell Labs and AT&T Labs. He is currently a visiting scientist at the Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science center of Rutgers University, New Jersey.
