, Director of Centre for Grid Computing, Cambridge-Cranfield High Performance Computing Facility. In 1994, he invented spin-tunneling random access memory. In 2003, Frank proposed a new concept of Grid-oriented Storage
architecture. In 2004, Frank and his colleagues launched the UK-first Masters Program in Grid Computing
. In 2005, Professor Wang was elected as the Chairman (UK & Republic of Ireland Chapter) of the IEEE Computer Society. In 2007, he was elected as a Fellow of the British Computer Society.
E-Science
E-Science is computationally intensive science that is carried out in highly distributed network environments, or science that uses immense data sets that require grid computing; the term sometimes includes technologies that enable distributed collaboration, such as the Access Grid...

Grid computing
Grid computing is a term referring to the combination of computer resources from multiple administrative domains to reach a common goal. The grid can be thought of as a distributed system with non-interactive workloads that involve a large number of files...

Grid-oriented storage
Grid-oriented Storage is a dedicated data storage architecture which can be connected directly to a computational grid to support advanced data bank services and reservoirs for data that can be shared among multiple computers and end users on the grid....
