Presenter

Christian Engelmann is a Computer Scientist and Task Lead of the System Software Team at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. He holds a Ph.D. and a M.Sc. in Computer Science from the University of Reading, UK, and a Dipl.-Ing. (FH) in Computer Systems Engineering from the University of Applied Sciences Berlin. He has 12 years experience in research and development for next-generation high-performance computing (HPC) systems. His research aims at computer science challenges for HPC, such as dependability, scalability, and portability. Dr. Engelmann’s primary expertise is in HPC resilience, i.e., providing efficiency and correctness in the presence of faults, errors, and failures. His secondary expertise is in HPC hardware/software co-design through lightweight simulation of extreme-scale systems with millions of processor cores to study the impact of hardware properties on application performance. He is a co-organizer of 2 annual workshops in the area of his expertise, including ScalA 2010-15. He has published over 60 papers in renowned refereed journals and proceedings of international conferences.
