Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaan Camps is an HPC architecture and performance engineer with nine years of experience, currently integrating quantum computing technologies into next-generation supercomputing systems at NERSC, Berkeley Lab. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from KU Leuven where he advanced rational Krylov methods and introduced pole swapping techniques for eigenvalue problems, bringing deep numerical analysis to practical HPC challenges. His postdoctoral work blended non-linear tensor factorizations, machine learning, and quantum computing, reflecting a rare mix of theoretical rigor and applied systems engineering. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he combines academic research instincts with hands-on performance engineering to bridge emerging quantum hardware and large-scale scientific workflows. Visitors to his site campsd.github.io will find additional research and code that illustrate his cross-disciplinary focus.
