James A. Ang is the chief scientist for computing in the Physical and Computational Sciences Directorate at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), where he serves as the lab lead for the U.S. DOE Office of Science (DOE/SC) Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) Program. PNNL’s ASCR portfolio includes more than 20 R&D projects in applied mathematics, computer science, advanced computing technology, testbeds, and quantum computing.

James' computing leadership role also intersects with foundational technology challenges associated with microelectronics and semiconductors. James helped organize the panel Co-Design for HPC Beyond Exascale at the DOE/SC Workshop on Basic Research Needs for Microelectronics; he served on the executive committee for the Semiconductor Research Corporation Decadal Plan and Microelectronics Advanced Packaging Technology Roadmap; and he was appointed by the U.S. Commerce Secretary to serve on the DOC/NIST Industrial Advisory Committee and provide input on R&D gaps for the CHIPS and Science Act.
