Kenneth is the group leader of the Numerics, Modular Applications and Performance (NuMAP) group in Computing's Applications, Simulations and Quality (ASQ) division. He is also the Computer Science lead for the Multiphysics on Applied Platforms Project (MAPP) and the deputy lead of the Axom computer science toolkit project. Previously, he was a postdoctoral research associate in the Center for Applied Scientific Computing working with Peter Lindstrom.

Kenneth earned a Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Maryland, College Park and holds a dual degree in computer science and mathematics from Binghamton University. His research interests include scientific visualization, spatial data structures, computational topology and shape modeling. He is also the information director for the ACM journal Transactions on Spatial Algorithms and Systems.
