Exploring HPC Workflows @ GE Research (2016-)
My current work as a principal architect and investigator is centered on democratizing software frameworks for heterogeneous high-performance computing workflows. The current computing landscape is experiencing a Cambrian explosion of complexity - simplifying interoperability standards are needed to lower barriers to access across national scientific resources, universities, and corporations, unleashing the broadest potential. "The workflow is the app."
