Education
University of Oxford.
University of Oxford.
He obtained his Bachelor and his Doctorate.Phil in physics from Oxford University. In 1983 he became a Staff Senior Scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, where he served as head of the theoretical physics group from 1992 to 1999. Trained in theoretical physics, his primary activity now is with the Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software experiment at European Organization of Nuclear Research"s Large Hadron Collider, which he joined in 1996.
He served as Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software physics coordinator in 2006–2007 and currently heads Berkeley Laboratory"s Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software group.
His research emphasizes the importance of experiment in testing theoretical ideas, and in driving theoretical developments aimed at understanding interactions among fundamental particles. Much of his research looks to show how the Standard Model can be tested at hadron colliders.
