Charlie is Senior Computer Scientist at Argonne National Laboratory and the founding director of the Urban Center for Computation and Data (UrbanCCD), a joint Argonne-UChicago research center that brings scientists, artists, architects, technologists, and policy makers together to use computation, data analytics, and embedded system to understand the dynamics, design, and resilient operation of cities. He is also a visiting artist at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Before joining Argonne in 2000, Charlie served as Chief Technology Officer of the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Beginning at NCSA’s founding in 1985, he participated in the development of NSFNET, one of several early national networks that evolved into what we now experience as the Internet. During the exponential growth of the web following the release of NCSA’s Mosaic web browser, his team developed and supported NCSA’s scalable web server infrastructure. Chicago’s “Tech 50” technology leaders.

Ask Me

Dr. Turqueti is currently a Research Engineer at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). He received his PhD in Electrical Engineering from the Illinois Institute of Technology.

Author or co-author of over 100 publications, his research interests are in the areas of electronics and signal processing for harsh environments especially those operating at high levels of radiation, cryogenic temperatures, or high magnetic fields. He works on projects funded by the Department of Energy (DOE) office of science, and by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA).

Previously he worked at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) whereas an engineer he developed and researched electronics and signal processing algorithms for the CDF and D0 experiments. Dr.Turqueti lead at Fermilab the integration efforts for the US-CMS forward pixel detector.

In the private sector, Dr.Turqueti served as vice-president of technology at Creative Electron Inc, where he was the principal investigator and technical manager for several radiation detection projects for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and DOE.

His professional activities included serving on a variety of advisory panels, conference committees, and as a reviewer for DOE Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR), and several journals, including IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science and IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity.
