Presenter

Wesley Brewer is a Senior Research Scientist in the Analytics & AI Methods at Scale (AAIMS) group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. He holds a PhD in Computational Engineering from Mississippi State University and a MS in Ocean Engineering from MIT. Wesley's background is in computational fluid dynamics (CFD), he has considerable experience in modeling and simulation, as well as machine learning for science and engineering applications at scale on HPC. He has developed several CFD codes the U.S. Navy utilized in the design and analysis of advanced propulsion systems. Moreover, he’s developed a number of machine-learned models to support the U.S. Army’s helicopter program as well as the DoD in general, for which he won the 2019 DoD HPCMP Hero Award. Recently joining ORNL, Wes is leading an international initiative to develop ExaDigiT, an open-source framework for modeling liquid-cooled supercomputers, exemplified by its application on Frontier, an exascale supercomputer.
