Three Berkeley Lab scientists describe their path from education to a career in the Computing Sciences division. Insightful and inspirational, this inside look proves there’s no single path to great scientific research.
Autobiographical insights provided by Alex Morehead (Hopper Postdoctoral
Fellow, NERSC), Katherine “Katie” Klymko (Quantum Computing Advisor, NERSC), and Ann Almgren (Applied Mathematics Department Head, AMCR).
Erhan Saglamyurek is a project scientist for the QUANT-NET quantum networking experiment. In this position, he contributes to the development of scalable and networked trapped-ion quantum processors and coordinate the realizations of quantum networking experiments between Berkeley Lab and the University of California, Berkeley.
Jean Luca Bez is a Data Management Research Scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), USA. His research focuses on optimizing the I/O performance of scientific applications by exploring access patterns, data management, automatic tuning, and reconfiguration using machine learning techniques, I/O forwarding, I/O scheduling, and novel storage solutions.
Ann Almgren is a Senior Scientist in CCSE and the Department Head of the Applied Mathematics Department in Berkeley Lab's Applied Mathematics and Computational Research (AMCR) Division. Her primary research interest is in computational algorithms for solving PDEs in a variety of application areas.
Alex Morehead is a Hopper Postdoctoral Fellow in the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Alex is broadly interested in machine learning, deep learning, computational biology, and generative modeling.
Katherine Klymko is a staff member at NERSC where she is working to bring quantum computing into future scientific workloads. Her postdoctoral work focused on quantum algorithms for eigenvalue calculations in molecular systems as well as algorithms to explore thermodynamic properties.
