Presenter

Dr. Kunkel is a Professor in High-Performance Computing at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen and a co-director at the GWDG responsible for HPC. Previously, he was a Lecturer at the Computer Science Department at the University of Reading and a postdoc in the research department of the German Climate Computing Center (DKRZ). He manages several research projects revolving around High-Performance Computing and particularly high-performance storage. Julian became interested in the topic of HPC storage in 2003, during his studies of computer science. Besides his main goal to provide efficient and performance-portable I/O, his HPC-related interests are data reduction techniques, performance analysis of parallel applications and parallel I/O, management of cluster systems, cost-efficiency considerations, and the software engineering of scientific software.
