Katherine Anne "Kathy" Yelick is the associate laboratory director for computing sciences at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and was formerly the director of the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center.[1] She is also an author of many peer reviewed articles and two books. Besides being an author she is also a co-inventor of the Unified Parallel C and a co-developer of the self-tuned library. She obtained her PhD in both electrical engineering and computer science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and then became a professor in both fields at the University of California, Berkeley. Currently she is a member of both the California Council on Science and Technology and the National Academies Committee.[2][3] In 2012 she was named as an ACM Fellow and in 2013 she received the ACM Athena Lecturer award.[4][5][6]
