Presenter

David Keyes is a professor of applied mathematics, computer science, and mechanical engineering at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), where he was a founding dean in 2009 and founding director of the Extreme Computing Research Center in 2012. He is also an adjunct professor of applied mathematics and applied physics at Columbia University, where he formerly held the Fu Foundation Chair.

David focuses on scalable solvers that exploit hierarchy and data sparsity, targeting power-austere emerging architectures. He collaborates on large-scale applications in energy and environment that demand high performance because of resolution, dimension, high-fidelity physical models, or the “multi-solve” requirements of optimization, control, sensitivity analysis, inverse problems, data assimilation, or uncertainty quantification.
