About
Dr. Glenn Ricart is a visionary leader in advanced networking and cyberinfrastructure, whose work has profoundly shaped the fabric of the modern internet. His research spans high-performance computing, digital libraries, and the development of national-scale research networks. Ricart is perhaps best known for co-authoring the Ricart–Agrawala algorithm, a foundational contribution to distributed systems that provides an elegant, deadlock-free solution for mutual exclusion—a concept still taught in computer science curricula worldwide. As the founder of the National LambdaRail and a key architect of Internet2, he pioneered the high-speed optical networks that enable today's collaborative scientific research. His forward-looking work, including the NSF-funded workshop "Research and Infrastructure Challenges for Applications and Services in the Year 2021," demonstrates his enduring commitment to anticipating the needs of future researchers. With a career spanning decades and influencing countless systems, Ricart’s impact is measured not just in citations, but in the very infrastructure that powers global discovery.
