John Zahorjan, Professor, graduated from Brown University in 1975 and received a Ph.D. from the University of Toronto in 1980. He received an NSF Presidential Young Investigator Award in 1984.

His primary research interests are in the areas of scheduling of parallel systems, runtime support for parallel computations, and applications support for mobile computing. One current focus is on scheduling policies to support "continuous media" applications, such as those involving real-time audio and video, where the goal is to provide a policy and system interface that allows applications to respond easily to changes in system load. Other active research topics include techniques for runtime parallelization of code written in a sequential language, support for programs exhibiting both control and data parallelism, and programming constructs to aid in development of applications intended for mobile computing platforms.

Dr. Zahorjan is on the Editorial Boards of IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering and ACM Computing Surveys.
