Shawn McKee is a Research Scientist in the Department of Physics, and the Director of MICDE’s Center for Network and Storage-Enabled Collaborative Computational Science.
He is also the U-M site director for ATLAS Great Lakes Tier 2, which provides 4,000 CPUs cores and 3.5 petabytes of storage for ATLAS physics computing. McKee’s research interests are mainly in two parts: using the ATLAS detector to search for Dark-Matter (assuming it has a particle physics origin; and researching distributed data-intensive infrastructures to improve their ability to support high-energy physics and similar distributed e-Science efforts.
