Biography
Gerhard Wellein is a Professor for High Performance Computing at the Department for Computer Science at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg and holds a PhD in theoretical physics from the University of Bayreuth. He heads the Erlangen National High Performance Computing Center (NHR@FAU), is the deputy speaker of the Bavarian HPC network KONWIHR, and a member of the scientific steering committee of the Gauss-Centre for Supercomputing.
Gerhard Wellein has more than twenty years of experience in teaching HPC techniques to students and scientists from computational science and engineering, is an external trainer in the Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe (PRACE) and received the “2011 Informatics Europe Curriculum Best Practices Award” (together with Jan Treibig and Georg Hager) for outstanding teaching contributions. His research interests focus on performance modelling and performance engineering, architecture-specific code optimization, novel parallelization approaches and hardware-efficient building blocks for sparse linear algebra and stencil solvers.
