form the numerical foundation for most of the world’ s high-performance and scientific computing.
He joined NVIDIA in 2019 to lead the development of the CUDA-X libraries. His remit now extends to quantum computing and the full span of computational engineering. Tim explains there has been a consistent thread throughout his career:“ Transforming our ability to compute the fundamental mathematics that describes the physical world, so engineers and scientists can ask bigger questions.”
Each chapter of his career, Tim explains, prepared him for a different layer of the challenge he now addresses.
His doctorate grounded him in how mathematics drives engineering workflows, from the underlying physics through to the numerical methods engineers rely on in practice. His time as a library engineer taught him to translate from mathematics through computer architecture all the way to real industrial applications. Then, at NVIDIA, he says:“ Leading CUDA-X put me at the intersection of every industrial sector and accelerated computing.”
His current remit, which extends to quantum computing as well as the full span of computational engineering, has“ closed that loop”, giving Tim“ the chance to support and collaborate with these ecosystems to transform
