I am a research scientist in the Scalable Computer Architecture group at Sandia National Laboratories. My primary research is in enabling codesign activities for the laboratories using tools such as the Mantevo mini-application suite, the Structural Simulation Toolkit (SST), the Advanced Architecture test beds and several other projects of which I am a member. This work includes activities with the Office of Science Materials in Extreme Environments (ExMatEx) and Combustion (ExaCT) codesign centers as well as the Sandia NNSA Codesign project focused on large scale production-quality engineering applications and mathematical libraries. I have research interests in high performance compilers (particularly vectorization strategies), dynamic runtimes with a focus on the just-in-time compilation and dynamic execution of code, the C++ language standard, efficient message passing, high performance numerical mathematics libraries and the analysis, modeling and optimization of large-scale parallel scientific or analytics applications.

Education/Background

I received my Master's degree (Class I, Summa Cum Laude) in Computer Science from the University of Warwick (UK) in 2006. Later that year I joined the High Performance Systems Group (now the Performance Computing and Visualization Group) at the University of Warwick for a PhD programme. The PhD research was funded by the University of Warwick (under the Warwick Fellowship Programme), the United Kingdom Technology Transfer Board and the UK Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE). In early 2011 I completed my PhD titled "Performance Modelling and Simulation of High Performance Computing Systems" and joined the Scalable Computing department at Sandia National Laboratories as a post-doc later that year.
