Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSemir Sarajlic is a research computing and data leader with over a decade of higher-education experience who blends technical program delivery with people-centered leadership to accelerate research impact. He has led campus-scale infrastructure projects—co-launching a TOP500 cluster, steering a $20M data-center relocation, and co-designing cost-recovery models that sustained ~$1.5M/year—while co-leading a Slurm migration that improved throughput across ~1,800 nodes and saved ~$120K/year. As a builder of teams and communities, he chaired multiple faculty searches and promotions, co-founded a campus symposium series, and amplified RCD value through strategic storytelling as an editor. His work as Co-PI on NSF-backed distributed compute and caching efforts delivered millions of CPU-hours to a broad regional research network, reflecting a rare mix of operational rigor and grant-funded program development. Now an Ed.D. candidate at Vanderbilt, he brings research-informed governance, responsible-AI focus, and co-design practices to scale what works next for scholars and institutions.
