Andrew Siegel is Director of Applications Development for ECP.

In this video from the HPC User Forum at Argonne, Andrew Siegel from Argonne presents: ECP Application Development.

The Exascale Computing Project is accelerating delivery of a capable exascale computing ecosystem for breakthroughs in scientific discovery, energy assurance, economic competitiveness, and national security. ECP is chartered with accelerating delivery of a capable exascale computing ecosystem to provide breakthrough modeling and simulation solutions to address the most critical challenges in scientific discovery, energy assurance, economic competitiveness, and national security. This role goes far beyond the limited scope of a physical computing system. ECP’s work encompasses the development of an entire exascale ecosystem: applications, system software, hardware technologies and architectures, along with critical workforce development.

Andrew Siegel has led several major projects in the past decade. For example, he was lead software architect with the FLASH project at the University of Chicago; he built the applications team for the Blue Gene Consortium; he spearheaded the establishment of a nuclear engineering simulation program at Argonne; and he was director of SHARP (Simulation for High Accuracy Reactor Program) at Argonne. Siegel received his B.A. in philosophy  at the University of Chicago and his Ph.D. in the Department of Astrophysical, Planetary, and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Colorado.
