Presenter

Misun Min is a Computational Mathematician in the Mathematics and Computer Science Division at Argonne National Laboratory. She holds a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from Brown University, where she studied spectral methods for PDEs. Dr. Min is the Argonne PI for the Center for Efficient Exascale Discretizations, which is supported as part of DOE’s Exascale Computing Project. Her research focuses on high-order methods for challenging PDE-based applications. A major part of her effort is directed towards performance and scalability, whether using millions of CPUs or tens of thousands of GPUs. Dr. Min’s software developments include spectral element codes for electromagnetics (NekCEM), lattice-Boltzmann methods (NekLBM), and fluid-thermal transport (Nek5000/RS). She developed the first GPU-enabled variant of the Nek code suite using OpenACC for NekCEM simulations on ORNL's Titan. Dr. Min has led the scaling efforts for Nek5000/RS, with problems exceeding two billion spectral elements on DOE’s leadership computers.
