Biography
I am a senior member of technical staff (SMTS) working within AMD’s University Program as a software development engineer. In this role, I help to enable artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) research at universities and other academic institutions through donations of AMD hardware and/or allocations of time on our AI & HPC Fund Research Cluster.
Before joining AMD, I worked as an HPC Engineer at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), where I developed GPU benchmark applications for system acceptance and regression testing, managed the OLCF training program, and delivered user support for OLCF’s supercomputers.
I received my PhD in physics from the University of Tennessee in 2015, where I used the OLCF’s Titan supercomputer to simulate (and develop code for) explosive nucleosynthesis in the context of Type Ia supernovae using the astrophysics code, FLASH.
