Craig Stewart leads the Pervasive Technology Institute, IU's main research, development, and delivery organization in advanced IT research, and the Research Technologies division of University Information Technology Services (UITS), which serves the research and scholarship missions of Indiana University. Research Technologies seeks to enhance the quality and quantity of IU research by providing the best possible computation, storage, and visualization facilities and support for IU researchers. The division pioneers the frontiers of advanced computing as a research and development endeavor, and supports research and development through purposeful university/government/industry partnerships and extramural grants. The mission of the Pervasive Technology Institute is to invent, develop, deploy, and when appropriate deliver new and innovative applications of information technology - and in so doing improve the quality of life in Indiana and the world as a whole. Stewart has had a long career in IT at Indiana University, with extensive experience in leading and managing services to support researchers at IU, including past appointments as Director of the Center for Statistical and Mathematical Computing, Research and Academic Computing, Indiana Genomics Initiative Information Technology Core; and Special Assistant for the Life Sciences, IU Office of the Vice President for Research.  Stewart is an Adjunct Professor in the School of Informatics, and also holds adjunct appointments in the Department of Medical Genetics (IU School of Medicine) and Biology (IU Bloomington).  Stewart has served as a Visiting Faculty Member in Computer Science, University of Stuttgart, and as a Fulbright Senior Scholar at the Technische Universitaet Dresden (Germany). He has a Ph.D. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from Indiana University and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics and Biology from Wittenburg University.
