Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Rogers is a computational scientist with 12 years of experience applying high-performance computing, parallel programming, and statistical mechanics to multiscale modeling problems in chemistry and materials. Based at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, he develops scalable libraries and interfaces that bring open-source tools to large-scale simulations of fluids, interfaces, and nanoscale devices. His background spans academia and national labs—from a PhD in physical chemistry to postdoctoral work at Sandia and a faculty role at USF—giving him deep domain expertise in thermodynamics, hydration, and nonequilibrium systems. An active contributor to spack, he has improved package builds and added CUDA/Kokkos support for HPC packages like LAMMPS and dealii, reflecting a knack for performance engineering and reproducible computational environments. Colleagues rely on him to bridge rigorous theory with practical software engineering to enable new modeling capabilities at scale.
