Brandon Cook
Computer Systems Manager 1
National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC)
HPC Technology Dept.
Programming Environments & Models Group
Brandon leads the Programming Environments and Models Group at NERSC. He works on understanding and analyzing performance and productivity on a system, workflow, and application level, developing future benchmark suites, analyzing future architectures, developing tools to help NERSC users/staff be more productive, and exploring future programming language features and programming models. Brandon received his Ph.D. in physics from Vanderbilt University in 2012, where he studied ab initio methods for quantum transport in nanomaterials. Before joining NERSC, he was a postdoc at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, where he developed and applied electronic structure methods to problems in material science.
