Eric Roman is a computer systems engineer at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. He joined LBNL in 1999. From 2004-2006 he took leave to pursue a Ph.D. In physics at the University of California at Berkeley, where he performed ab initio simulations of nonlinear optical properties of semiconductors, spin transport in metals, and the anomalous Hall effect. He completed his doctoral dissertation entitled “Orientation Dependence of the Anomalous Hall Effect in 3d Ferromagnets” in 2010. His research at LBNL focuses on operating systems for high-performance computing. He participated in the development of Berkeley Lab's Checkpoint/Restart (BLCR) since the start of the project in 2001. In 2018, he joined the Computational Systems Group at the National Energy Scientific Research Center.
