NGT Data Structures

I am a research fellow at CERN with a PhD in high-performance heterogeneous computing. My work sits at the intersection of software performance engineering and large-scale scientific computing, with a focus on enabling efficient use of modern heterogeneous architectures.

At CERN, I contribute to the development and optimization of core data structures within CMSSW. As part of the NextGen Triggers project, I am in charge of improving the Structure of Arrays (SoA)-based data layouts to support efficient heterogeneous event reconstruction across CPUs and GPUs.

More broadly, I am interested in performance-portable software design, memory-efficient data representations, and scalable computing solutions for data-intensive scientific applications.

Fields of interest:

• heterogeneous computing
• data structures
