Academic Achievements
- A key developer of PETSc, a powerful numerical library for solving linear and nonlinear systems of equations; a significant contributor to MPI (Message Passing Interface); MPICH, one of the most widely used implementations of MPI, is his contribution and is chosen for the world's fastest machines.
Research Experience
- Led several projects, including the deployment of Delta and DeltaAI supercomputers. Delta, funded by NSF, aims to accelerate the adoption of new computing technologies like GPUs and non-POSIX file systems in the computational science community. DeltaAI is an AI/ML optimized supercomputer connected to Delta, allowing users to leverage both. Also led HAL Deep Learning Major Research Instrument and Illinois Computes project.
Background
- Research Interests: The use of high performance computing to solve problems too hard for other techniques; focused on two areas: the development of scalable numerical algorithms (especially for partial differential equations) and the development of programming models and systems.
Miscellany
- Council Member for Section T - Information, Computing, and Communication at American Association for the Advancement of Science; serves on the board of Computing Research Association (CRA) as one of the IEEE Computer Society representatives; also a member of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) and its executive committee.
