Los Alamos, Here I Come!

I’m very pleased to announce that I will be transitioning to a Scientist position at Los Alamos National Lab, in New Mexico, early in 2023.

I’m very excited about what the future holds. I’ll be able to work on projects of national importance there, and I hope I’ll be able to turn this opportunity into a career with real impact. Thanks to everyone who helped get to this point!

ATPESC 2022

I was very happy to be selected for the 2022 cohort of the Argonne Training Program for Extreme Scale Computing (ATPESC), and intensive, two week workshop all about the current state-of-the-art in High Performance Computing, and its applications in scientific research.

I learned so much and was really happy to return to Chicago and meet so many dedicated and talented computational scientists. With the growing prevalence of GPU, the coming years will be an exciting and dynamic time for HPC.

As a parting gift all participants were given a compute module from Intrepid, Argonne’s IBM Blue Gene system, which was decommissioned in 2011. It’s so neat that I designed a stand for it! [Link]
