Reagan Moore is a professor in the School of Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, chief scientist for Data Intensive Cyber Environments at the Renaissance Computing Institute, director of the Data Intensive Cyber Environments Center at UNC, and President of the Data Intensive Cyberinfrastructure Foundation. He coordinates research efforts in development of data grids, digital libraries, and preservation environments. Developed software systems include the Storage Resource Broker data grid and the integrated Rule-Oriented Data System. Supported projects include the National Archives and Records Administration Transcontinental Persistent Archive Prototype, and science data grids for seismology, oceanography, climate, high-energy physics, astronomy, and bioinformatics. An ongoing research interest is use of data grid technology to automate execution of management policies and validate trustworthiness of repositories. Dr. Moore's previous roles include director of the Data Intensive Computing Environments group at the San Diego Supercomputer Center, and Manager of production services at SDSC. He previously worked as a computational plasma physicist at General Atomics on equilibrium and stability of toroidal fusion devices.

He holds a Ph.D. in plasma physics from the University of California, San Diego and a B.S. in physics from the California Institute of Technology.
