Pat used to work in IT for IWU and now is one of two people who works for Fermi Labs in what is called Scientific Linux. They help redesign research software for use in laboratories around the world. They have also worked with the scientists conducting research with the super-collider in CERN. In fact, when some of those scientists recently received the Nobel Prize in Physics, they thanked Scientific Linux, half of which are alumni! Pat was a philosophy major at IWU who also knew his way around a computer. He sits on our alumni advisory board for IT.
