Brad Settlemyer is a Principal Architect and storage/I/O research leader with 16 years of experience driving high-performance computing innovations at national labs and now at NVIDIA. He specializes in marrying computational storage, in-network compute, and systems software to accelerate scientific workflows, and his teams' work has earned R&D 100 recognition and publications at top HPC and storage conferences. At NVIDIA he designed DPU-accelerated collective communication algorithms (Alltoallv and Allgatherv) that measurably improve MPI performance for data-intensive applications. Grounded in a Ph.D. from Clemson and a long tenure at LANL and ORNL, he blends deep research rigor with production-focused engineering to move novel I/O concepts into deployable platforms. Notably, he brings rare hands-on expertise in translating cutting-edge DPU and storage research into practical algorithms used in platform proposals and product development.
