Presenter

Dr Joo completed his PhD at The University Edinburgh in 2000 in the area of simulation algorithms for Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (LQCD). He has since performed post-doctoral work in the area of Monte-Carlo algorithms for LQCD, as part of the design team for the QCDOC supercomputer, and into efficient algorithms for implementing chiral fermions in LQCD. He moved to Jefferson Lab in 2005 where his current research focuses on the use of novel-hardware technologies (GPUs and Xeon Phi) for LQCD calculations, and performance portability towards exascale systems, along with continued interest in algorithms. He is a co-author of the Chroma software system for LQCD calculations and lead author of the QPhiX library for Xeon Phi and Xeon systems. He has contributed to the QUDA library and responsible for its integration into Chroma. He currently serves on the NERSC and OLCF User-Group Executives as well as the XSEDE User-Advisory Council.
