Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlfredo Correa is a computational physicist and software-savvy research leader with over a decade of experience developing high-performance simulation codes for matter under extreme and non-equilibrium conditions. As Group Leader of the Quantum Simulations Group at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and a Visiting Scientist at Stanford, he bridges first-principles electronic-structure theory with production-grade C++ software engineering. He has authored 70+ peer-reviewed papers and led projects ranging from ab initio equations of state for inertial confinement fusion to time-dependent DFT implementations and electronic stopping simulations. Alfredo is also a C++ Standards Committee representative and contributed major build-system and portability improvements to QMCPACK, helping enable GPU performance portability for many-body quantum Monte Carlo. He directs LLNL’s Computational Chemistry & Materials Science summer institute and serves on exascale numerical linear algebra efforts, reflecting a commitment to training and community-scale solver development. Colleagues rely on him for turning cutting-edge theory into robust, portable code that runs at scale.
