Tony Hey, Microsoft Corporate Vice President of Technical Computing and also my manager :-), was recently interviewed by Richard Poynder. You can read about Tony‘s start as a physicist, his move to Computing Science, the UK e-Science program, about science and data, the Grid, supercomputers and clsuters, the Open Access movement, licenses, OpenXML, etc.
Isn’t the agenda, which Tony has set for our group and Microsoft, extremely fascinating? And there is sooo much more to it.
