Presenter

Dr. Christian Trott is a Principal Member of the Technical Staff at Sandia National Laboratories. He received his Ph.D. degree in 2011 in Computational Physics at Technische Universität Ilmenau and has exceptional experience in designing and implementing scientific software for GPU and ManyCore architectures. His current work concentrates on providing a production quality solution to implement C++ applications, which can leverage all current and upcoming supercomputing systems procured by the US Department of Energy including IBM/NVIDIA systems, ARM based supercomputers as well as current and future AMD and Intel architectures. Trott is the lead of the Kokkos C++ Performance Portability Programming Model development team and a member of the ISO C++ Standards Committee focusing on future C++ capabilities for parallel and heterogeneous computing. His prior scientific work focused on computational material research using ab-initio calculations, molecular dynamic simulations, and Monte Carlo methods for investigations of ion-conducting glass materials.
