I am joining the Institute of Computational Science at the University of Lugano as a faculty member for High-Performance Computing in Computational Science in January 2012.
The research of Olaf Schenk concerns algorithmic and architectural problems in the field of computational mathematics, scientific computing and high-performance computing. The research has a strong emphasis on applications in computational science. From a mathematical and computer science perspective, this field requires a close interaction of numerical methods such as numerical linear algebra, nonlinear optimization and PDEs. In addition, high-performance information technology also plays an important role to get an insight into realistic applications. Olaf Schenk is an expert in the design and analysis of parallel and multi- and manycore algorithms for real-world applications on emerging architectures e.g. GPUs and Cells.
In these areas, he has published more than 50 peer-reviewed journal articles and conference contributions. As an editor, he is currently involved in the publication of the first book on Combinatorial Scientific Computing in the computational science series of Chapman/Hall CRC Press and on three invited book chapters on the topic of parallel computing on emerging manycore architectures and numerical linear algebra. He is an IEEE Senior Member, and a SIAM Member. He received a highly-competitive IBM Faculty Award on Cell Processors for Biomedical Hyperthermia Applications in 2008 and was one of the finalist of the International Itanium Award in 2009 in the area of computational intensive applications.
He served in the program committee of several international supercomputing conferences and workshops such as, the International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis (SC), the International Conference on High Performance Computing (HiPC) and the Annual Swiss Workshop Series on High-Performance Computing. He is also involved in ongoing collaborations and projects with industrial partners, among others with Intel and IBM Research.
