Presenter

I started my academic career by studying natural sciences (physics and computer science) at Durham University (UK). I then went on to do a PhD with Ilian Iliev at the University of Sussex where I worked on radiative transfer simulations of X-ray heating and ionization from the first galaxies. I then moved to the US to do a postdoctoral scholar in the computational cosmology group at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab working on simulating the large scale structure of the Universe as part of the exascale computing project. I am now an HPC performance engineer at NERSC where my work focuses on the optimization of a moist turbulence parameterization scheme (called MYNN) as a part of the NERSC Exascale Science Applications Program (NESAP). I am porting MYNN from Legacy Fortran to GPU capable C++ using AI converters and the AMReX framework.
