Dr. Julian Kunkel is a professor of high-performance computing at the University of Göttingen, a deputy head of the GWDG and group leader of the working group Computing. He manages several research projects revolving around high-performance computing and particularly high-performance storage. Julian became interested in the topic of HPC storage in 2003, during his studies of computer science. Besides his main goal to provide efficient and performance-portable I/O, his HPC-related interests are data reduction techniques, performance analysis of parallel applications and parallel I/O, management of cluster systems, cost-efficiency considerations, and the software engineering of scientific software. Julian is a member of many international program committees, he is a founding member of the IO500 benchmarking effort, the Virtual Institute for I/O, and the HPC Certification Forum.
