About Ernesto P.

1) Goal: to work on the mix of computer science, mathematics, physics, and HPC.I enjoy working on interdisciplinary, computationally intensive, scientific and engineering projects involving (i) the design and development of large object oriented software (applications, libraries), and (ii) the research of high-performance, robust, scalable, and fault-tolerant, parallel mathematical algorithms (deterministic, stochastic, linear, nonlinear, simulation, optimization, machine learning).2) Expertise in computational mathematics:• Bayesian analysis, filtering, information gain of physical models, MCMC;• Emulation w/ Gaussian processes;• PDE-constrained optimization, inverse problems;• Numerical algorithms for nonlinear deterministic PDEs;• Linear solvers;• Multi-level preconditioners;• PETSc, Trilinos, GSL, Matlab, TensorFlow.3) Expertise in computer science:• MPI, Boost, Linux, C++, git;• Multi-thread, CUDA, object-oriented programming;• SW design & development;• Systems integration;• Some experience: Docker, Azure DevOps, Python, Kubernetes, Google cloud.4) Outstanding researcher petition (green card) sponsored by UT Austin and approved by U.S. government (2012).5) Member of the editorial board of the Computers and Mathematics with Applications (CAMWA) journal since Feb/2013.6) Professional experience in industry, national labs, academia:• Use of above algorithms and technologies with scalar/vector finite element methods, and with physical models on electromagnetism, fluid mechanics, chemical reactions, material science, seismology, signal processing;• PI and Co-PI in 8 granted research projects whose budgets sum to US$ 1.9+ million;• Submission of proposals to NSF, DOE, NIH, KAUST.• Collaborations with US and international researchers;• Organization of 8 mini-symposia on UQ;• Co-advising of post-doctorates and PhD students;• (Co-)author of 21 peer-reviewed papers;• Technical management (project scopes, deadlines, negotiation with customers, team leading).7) Idioms: English, Portuguese, Spanish.
