Presenter

Christian Engelmann is a Distinguished Computer Scientist and the Intelligent Systems and Facilities Group Leader at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. He holds a Ph.D. and a M.Sc. in Computer Science from the University of Reading, UK, and a Dipl.-Ing. (FH) in Computer Systems Engineering from the University of Applied Sciences Berlin. He has more than 24 years experience in research and development for next-generation high-performance computing (HPC) systems. Dr. Engelmann’s primary expertise is in HPC resilience, i.e., efficiency and correctness in the presence of faults, errors, and failures. He received the 2015 DOE Early Career Award for research in resilience design patterns. Dr. Engelmann’s secondary expertise is in system software for the instrument-to-edge-to-Cloud-to-center computing continuum, enabling science breakthroughs with autonomous experiments, self-driving laboratories, smart manufacturing, and artificial intelligence driven design, discovery and evaluation. He further has expertise in lightweight simulation of future-generation extreme-scale supercomputers, studying the impact of hardware/software properties on performance and resilience for application-architecture co-design. Dr. Engelmann is also an expert in operating system and runtime software for parallel and distributed systems.
