Brief Abstract:
My group is part of a multi-lab collaboration to develop a global climate model that runs well on DOE’s most advanced computing facilities. We are involved in all aspects of the software development of the model and its performance on heterogeneous architectures. We also develop python tools for analyzing the data. Join our group if you are interested in any of these topics.
