Summary
Christine Sweeney is a scientist and software engineer with 14+ years at Los Alamos National Laboratory applying AI and data-intensive methods to scientific problems, from exascale beamline analysis to AI/ML workflow data management. She combines deep systems experience—programming languages, compilers, Legion task-based runtimes, GPU acceleration, and reconfigurable computing—with hands-on scientific applications like ptychography, reinforcement learning for science, and quantum key distribution. Her work bridges research and production: building domain-specific compilers and runtime libraries as well as in situ visualization and data infrastructure for simulation and experiments. Based in Los Alamos, she brings a rare blend of low-level systems craftsmanship and domain science fluency, and often operates at the intersection of HPC, AI, and experimental workflows.
