Horst Simon
Biography
Dr. Horst Simon is an internationally recognized expert in the development of parallel computational methods for the solution of scientific problems of scale. His research interests are in the development of sparse matrix algorithms, algorithms for large-scale eigenvalue problems, and domain decomposition algorithms. His recursive spectral bisection algorithm is a breakthrough in parallel algorithms.
Simon has 40 years of experience in high performance computing and numerical algorithms. He has worked in industry (Boeing, SGI), in research labs (NASA's Ames Research Center, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory), and in universities (Stony Brook University; University of California, Berkeley), and is currently the inaugural director of ADIA Lab.
Simon has been honored twice with the prestigious ACM Gordon Bell Prize. He has also received the SC Test of Time Award and the SIAM Activity Group on Supercomputing Career Prize. He is a SIAM Fellow.
