We were saddened to learn this week of the passing of Russell M. Pitzer, a co-founder and guiding force behind the Ohio Supercomputer Center. Russ helped shape the Center in its earliest days and remained involved for decades.
In 2018, OSC named a state-of-the-art supercomputer cluster in his honor. Just as the Pitzer cluster continues to power research and discovery, Russ’s impact will continue to be felt across Ohio for years to come. We extend our condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues.
