Wahid Bhimji leads NERSC’s Data and AI Services Group. His interests include machine learning and data management. Recently, he has led several projects that apply AI to science, including deep learning at scale, generative models, and probabilistic programming. He has coordinated aspects of machine learning deployment for the Lab’s CS-Area and NERSC: including the Perlmutter HPC system and plans for future NERSC machines. Previously, he was the user lead for the commissioning of Cori Phase 1, particularly data services and the Burst Buffer. Wahid has worked for many years in Scientific Computing and Data Analysis in Academia and the UK Government and holds a Ph.D. in high-energy particle physics.
