Dr. Jorissen earned his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Antwerp for work on the interaction between light and matter as used in electron microscopy and x-ray spectroscopy for the study of material properties. He worked as a postdoc at the University of Zurich, EPFL (Lausanne), and the University of Washington (Seattle), where he was an early adopter of scientific computing in the Cloud. He then joined the cloud computing industry, where he helped research institutes and enterprises bring research computing and HPC to the cloud. He partnered with meteorological institutes and weather startups to run the most demanding forecasts on thousands of cores and open access to crucial datasets in the cloud. In his current role, Dr. Jorissen supports Oracle’s HPC customers in pursuing their strategic goals and pushing the art of the possible on Oracle’s HPC cloud platform.
