Dr. Ron Oldfield is the manager for the Scientific Machine Learning department in the Center for Computing Research at Sandia National Laboratories. He joined Sandia National Laboratories in 1992 as a student intern from the University of New Mexico (UNM). After receiving his BS from UNM in 1993, he joined the Computational Sciences department at Sandia as a software engineer developing high performance computing software for molecular visualization, data clustering, parallel acoustic wave propagation, and seismic imaging. In 1997, he left Sandia to attend graduate school at Dartmouth College, where he received a PhD in computer science in May 2003. Later that year, he returned to Sandia to join the Scalable System Software department. Since joining Sandia, Ron has either contributed to, led, or managed research projects in systems software, parallel file systems, scalable I/O libraries and middleware, resilience, performance modeling, advanced architectures, scalable visualization, and machine learning.
