Peter Lindstrom is a Computer Scientist in the Center for Applied Scientific Computing at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. His primary research areas include data compression, scientific visualization, and scientific computing. Peter has developed several open source compressors for floating-point and mesh-based scientific data, including zfp, fpzip, and hzip, and has published more than two dozen papers on data compression over the past 15 years at venues such as DCC, SC, SIGGRAPH, and VIS. He leads the zfp data compression effort as part of the US DOE's Exascale Computing Project. His zfp software has been adopted by HPC I/O libraries and tools like ADIOS, HDF5, Intel IPP, and VTK-m. Peter previously served as Editor in Chief for Graphical Models and as Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics. He is Paper Chair for IEEE VIS 2020 and a Senior Member of IEEE.
