Summary
Amit Chourasia is a research technology leader and Chief Research Data Architect based in San Diego, with two decades of experience building scalable cyberinfrastructure for academia and national research centers. He has led cross-functional teams to design HPC/AI platforms, re-architect data warehouses to handle TB–PB scale, and delivered high-impact projects like a nationwide seismic HPC platform and a portal serving millions of compute jobs. At SDSC he secured and managed multi-million dollar grants, shipped production platforms with enterprise ARR, and drove migrations from monoliths to microservices that supported hundreds of thousands of users and hundreds of millions of CPU hours. He blends deep visualization and GPGPU research roots—publishing in Science and SIGGRAPH—with pragmatic platform engineering, observability, and cost-optimization strategies. Known for turning research prototypes into sustained services, he also teaches data science and has a background spanning architecture, large-scale visualization, and applied science collaborations.
