Biography
Mathi is a postdoctoral appointee in the Leadership Computing Facilities Division at Argonne National Laboratory, his work is related to ECP applications and software technologies, working to port scientific software to run on next-generation hardware, as well as potentially to enhance the performance and capabilities of the software through algorithmic improvements, code parallelization, performance analysis, and use of novel architectural features.
His research also focuses on auto-tuning for performance enhancement, and data communication strategies between host and devices over the different heterogeneous HPC systems using different programming models. Previously he worked as a postdoctoral research associate in the Biophysics Group in the Biosciences Division at ORNL. His mini-app miniMDock has been released as an open-source software under the LGPL license, and his team’s COVID-19 project was selected as a finalist for ACM Gordon Bell Special Prize for High Performance Computing in 2020. He received his dual PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computational Mathematics, Science, and Engineering at Michigan State University where he worked on electromagnetic simulation and HPC parallel programming for numerical solutions of differential equations
