Often this comes in the form of high-performance computing (HPC) tools that leverage many-core processors and graphics processing units (GPUs), e.g. POSIX threads, OpenMP, message passing interface (MPI), and CUDA. I am also interested in applying and developing high-level HPC APIs (e.g. in Python and Matlab) that allow researchers to take advantage of many-core processors with minimal programming effort. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px\">I have research experience in the following areas: molecular electronics (e.g. single- and few-molecule devices; see below), molecular modeling, computational nanoscience, solid state physics, electronic structure calculations, signal processing, mass spectrometry, and proteomics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-19 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vanderbilt.edu\/t2-my\/my-prd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/619\/2012\/08\/junctions-only-650x334.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"319\" height=\"164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.vanderbilt.edu\/t2-my\/my-prd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/619\/2012\/08\/junctions-only-650x334.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.vanderbilt.edu\/t2-my\/my-prd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/619\/2012\/08\/junctions-only-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.vanderbilt.edu\/t2-my\/my-prd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/619\/2012\/08\/junctions-only.jpg 819w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 319px) 100vw, 319px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Information Email: will@accre.vanderbilt.edu Work Phone: 615-343-4134 Office: Hill Center 201 Teaching: Scientific Computing 3260\/5260: High-Performance Computing Experience Director of Research Computing Operations, Advanced Computing Center for Research and Education (ACCRE), Vanderbilt University, current.
