Ray Asbury also holds a master's degree in physics from the University of New Mexico. After working for the Dikewood Company as a computer analyst, Ray returned to the Northwest in 1980 and joined the Boeing Company as a programming consultant for the scientific and engineering community. In 1984, he joined Intel Corporation as a member of the team that designed and built the first commercially available parallel computer and the world's first Teraflop computer. In his 17-year career with Intel, Ray held a number of positions both as an individual contributor and as a manager. For two years he ran Intel's European Parallel Laboratories and has worked with computer science and engineering faculties throughout the world.
Since retiring in 2001, Ray remains active teaching classes in computer architecture, software optimization, and parallel programming. He has also worked with a team from Intel to develop materials for building, maintaining, and programming large cluster computers. In 2001, Ray and his wife Nancy established the Kilbuck Family Native American Scholarship at OSU to honor Ray's Native American grandfather, Joseph Kilbuck, and Nancy's father, Dr. Allen Scott, a longtime chemistry professor at OSU. The scholarship assists Native American undergraduates at Oregon State.
