Presenter

Chris received a PhD in Physics from George Washington University where he studied lattice quantum chromodynamics. He did pioneering work on three particle scattering merging high performance computing simulations with a theoretical framework. Chris also spent three years as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Liverpool, performing feasibility studies of quantum computing techniques applied to quantum field theories. At Groq, Chris is working on machine learning approaches to scientific computing for the Groq LPU accelerator. He focuses on performance benchmarking, especially optimizing for throughput to enable biology and chemistry problems analyzing large datasets.
