Steven Parker | Honorary Degree Recipient 2024
Steven G. Parker has a long list of “firsts” and “bests” in the field of computer science, where he is celebrated as one of the most talented researchers in the world. Today, he is the vice president of professional graphics at NVIDIA, a semiconductor company that makes high-end graphics processors used in video games, editing, 3-D rendering and artificial intelligence and machine learning applications.
But when Parker was a child, few would have predicted the phenomenal success in his future.
Parker grew up in Oklahoma and did fine in elementary school; middle school was another matter. He excelled in mathematics, but after his teachers refused to let him work ahead in the subject, Parker’s interest in school ebbed. He started skipping school, instead teaching himself about electronics and computers. He never graduated from high school.
But his brilliance had flourished, cultivated by his passion for learning and for computer science. Parker took the ACT exam, received an outstanding score and was admitted to the University of Oklahoma, where he completed a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, with a specific interest in computer graphics.
While visiting his grandparents in Salt Lake City, Parker became acquainted with the University of Utah’s pioneering work in computer graphics and decided to pursue a doctoral degree at the U. He quickly became the technical genius behind the creation of visualization algorithms used to create movies of huge flames and explosions by the Center for the Simulation of Accidental Fires and Explosions, a project funded by the Department of Energy’s Advanced Strategic Computing Initiative.
He was the first graduate student at the U to receive a prestigious Department of Energy Computational Science Graduate Fellowship. In 1998, Parker received a Best Paper Award at the IEEE Visualization Conference, the most prestigious international research conference in scientific visualization. That same year, he was a finalist for the Computer World/Smithsonian Award, vying with the chief technology officer at Microsoft and other senior computer science researchers for the recognition.
After graduating in 1999, Parker joined the faculty, teaching and overseeing the computer visualization aspects of the C-SAFE project, which was the portion the Sandia and Los Alamos National Labs could use to enhance their own simulations.
He continued to receive major awards for his work, including the Honors Medal from Computer World (2003); another Best Paper Award (2006); and selection as one of the “People to Watch” by HPCWire, a high-performance computing magazine. At one time, he was concurrently managing 10 major research project grants.
In 2005, with backing from a Utah State Centers of Excellence Award, Parker created the Center for Interactive Ray-Tracing and Photo Realistic Visualization, which led to a start-up company called RayScale. NVIDIA Inc. acquired the company in 2008 and set-up a NVIDIA Research Center in Utah, with Parker as director.
In an address given in March 2023 at the 50th anniversary of the computer science department, Parker offered five pieces of advice for students: keep pushing the U to be a special place; chase both depth and breadth; embrace parallelism at multiple scales; build something ambitious-bigger than yourself; and recognize you stand on the shoulders of giants.
Although no longer on the U faculty, Parker maintained his affiliation with the U, serving on the Engineering National Advisory Council for six years and providing influential support where and when needed by the college. He and his wife MeriAnn have made major donations to support the Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute and the John and Marcia Price Computing and Engineering Building.
“His dedication to pushing the boundaries of technology resonate with the university’s vision of making a positive impact on society through education and research and aligns with the university’s ethos of innovation,” said Rich Brown, engineering dean.

Pamela J. Atkinson grew up in extreme poverty in London and when she was 14, she decided there were two ways to leave poverty behind forever: marry a rich man or get a good education. “I never did meet a rich man,” she said. So, education it was-which would eventually lead to Atkinson’s work on the kind of poverty she experienced as a child. “I’ve learned along the way, when you make plans, it ...

my favorite song ever to perform with my select choir
Rest in peace legend
I'm sorry. Random quotes from authors long gone don't always produce outstanding and memorable commencement speeches. This is stilted, commoditized, predictable, and not helpful. The premise "Democracy needs more potlucks" is promising, but not sustainable. Most commencement speeches inspire for one day, but they're easily forgotten the day after. Can anyone design and deliver a truly, exceptional commencement speech that truly inspires a new generation long after the ceremony is over?

Indian-Americans as an immigrant group have been highly productive to our democracy and spelling bees. But our naivity ends up importing radicals who build separatist sharia governed ghettos in Dearborn, Michigan and who chant "Death to Amreeka" in public squares 🤦🏽♂️. Before you cry Islamophobia look at the crime, welfare data or prison statistics in UK, France and USA for second and even third generation of this immigrant group. There are some ideologies that can never evolve especially when the last line in their holy book is "this is the final word..you cannot reform". After years of research I have come to the painful conclusion that I$lamists should not be invited to the wonderful potluck of democratic western civilizations!!
Happy Day! Shone bright, my precious Puchun
Congratulations to all. You literally help shape future communities.
I affirm for this study.

What most people don't realize is that "Mormons" (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) serve missions to countries all over the world. Quite often they serve in other countries and cultures quite foreign to their own upbringing. What ends up happening to a lot of these missionaries is that they develop a love for this new culture and their people. So they bring that culture home and share it with their friends and family. In this case, they are sharing it with the community. Keep in mind, it's rude to other religions and cultures in Utah to assume everyone is "Mormon". For example, the University of Utah doesn't require you to be "Mormon" to go there. Therefore, while possible, it's unlikely all of these people are. 🙂 Regardless, I'm sure this choir is very happy you enjoyed it, as did I! Was really well done! Thank you for creating this experience for us, your UA-cam audience! Live long and prosper! 😁❤️

I heard that a Native American tribe in the Grand Cannion area told one scientist back in the 1800's that they were able to visit other lands via boats. He took it back with him, but then a different man came to power in the scientific community who held to another theory, and it went out the window.
Awesome video!

the nematodes in the permafrost in Siberia used a specific sugar to dehydrate themselves so they could survive (as i read the research). What implications does that have? In the Great Salt Lake, there are stromatolites, which algae construct. They are alsosome of the oldest fossils, and there are fossils in Capital Reef NP, if you are interested. This is a wonderful and important video. Keep up the good work.
Sounds like another propaganda center

When the ancient Romans made mortar, they heated up the lime to turn it into a substance called "quicklime" - a very reactive chemical sibling to limestone. And, because they introduced water to the quicklime during mixing, the heat it produced set up a chemical foundation that could strengthen the concrete later. When tiny cracks start to form later, the quicklime stops them from becoming bigger. When it rains, the lime reacts with the water to recrystallize as various forms of calcium carbonate, quickly filling the crack or reacting with the volcanic ash to "heal" the material.

Very well put together and detailed video U put a lot of time and effort into it do U have any restrictions as far as how old a person can be to enroll at campus?

The University of Utah is the most dangerous and evil campus in the world. It was the home of serial killer Ted Bundy. Just google Lauren McCluskey or Zhifan Dong (both young female students murdered on campus). Even many of their football team players have been murdered recently. Absolutely the worst University in America!!!
