As a followup to the Utah Innovation Awards earlier this year, we had a chance to sit down with Chris Johnson the Director of the Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute at the U. Chris is also:

Director, Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute (SCI).
Co-Director, Center for Integrative Biomedical Computing (NIH NCRR).
Distinguished Professor of Computer Science.
Research Professor of Bioengineering.
Adjunct Professor of Physics.
Faculty Member, Computational Engineering and Science (CES) Program.
Faculty Member, Brain Institute .
Co-Founder, Visual Influence Inc.
Co-Editor, The Visualization Handbook.

Chris is and his program at the U are doing some really amazing things… not just in the technologies they are coming up with, but with the culture they are building, and their ability to see these become more than just ideas, but to be a place for thoughts and people to flourish here in Utah. As well as a program to help those ideas become realities, and businesses.

I hope you’ll enjoy hearing from Chris as much as I enjoyed talking with him.
