I am a Principal Member of the Technical Staff in the Cyber Mission Alliances Department in the Emerging Cyber Capabilities Group in the Information Operations Center at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Responsibilities include incorporating current, emerging, and future high performance computing capabilities into the center's mission space. My interests span several areas required for designing, implementing, and maintaining effective data analytics, scientific, and engineering applications on current, emerging, and future highest performance computing platforms. Of special interest are the use of programming models and languages, such as explicit message passing, task parallel, partitioned global address space (PGAS) languages, and developing languages; code development tools; performance modeling, analysis, and optimization; computer architectures; inter-process communication mechanisms; the solution of large scale linear systems; and the bridge between research and production computing.
