ABOUT JIM BELAK
Thought Leader in the Materials Science Division at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. My career has centered around the application of High Performance Computing to equilibrium and non-equilibrium problems in Materials Physics, including: order-disorder phase transitions in solids; indentation, metal cutting and tribology of interfaces; shock propagation and spallation fracture; structure and dynamics of grain boundaries and defects in solids; kinetics of phase evolution in extreme environments, and additive manufacturing. These applications have required the development of new algorithms and application codes for emerging high performance parallel computers and the use of novel x-ray synchrotron techniques (3D x-ray tomography and small-angle x-ray scattering) to guide and validate the simulations. I was Co-PI on the DOE CRADA that created the LAMMPS MD code. I co-lead the Exascale Computing Project\'s (ECP) Application Development project on Additive Manufacturing (ExaAM) and the Co-design Center for Particle Methods (CoPA).
