CSCS is a unit of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH Zurich), that provides high-performance computing services to Swiss researchers. I worked in the Future Systems group, which collaborates with hardware and software vendors to evaluate and understand new and future hardware and software technologies.My role requires close collaboration with users in their efforts to implement their software for new hardware and programming models. I have worked closely with the Swiss federal weather service MeteoSuisse when porting their production weather and climate simulation code to use GPUs, and as part of software and hardware design efforts in the Human Brain Project.I also took an active role in mentoring interns, and in preparing and teaching courses that we provide for our users.

Work converting large-scale finite element code for simulating earth science problems to MPI-based parallel environment. This required domain decomposition and synchronization between C, C++ and Python components on parallel clusters.
