Research

My research is in the area of enabling technologies for high-performance simulations in computational science and engineering, with emphasis on automation of the development, deployment, testing, and performance tuning of parallel applications. Specific research areas include (1) source code analysis and transformation, specifically on automatic differentiation, performance analysis, and empirical code tuning; (2) embeddable domain-specific languages for high-performance computing; and (3) quality of service infrastructure for scientific software (including numerical software taxonomy and automated configuration), for optimizing performance, energy use, and resilience of complex applications.
