Presenter

Dr. Ronald Caplan is a computational scientist at Predictive Science Inc. (PSI) with over sixteen years of experience in applying computational methods in applied mathematics and physics. His main research interests are in developing and optimizing numerical methods for simulating physics-based models and their implementations in parallel high-performance-computing environments including GPU accelerators. His research currently focuses on the continued operation, development, and optimization of PSI’s thermodynamic magnetohydrodynamic code (MAS) used to study the solar corona and heliosphere, as well as providing computational solutions for additional projects including solar image processing and modeling solar energetic particles.
