Top School

Eike Mueller is an Associate Professor (Reader) in Scientific Computing at the University of Bath with 12 years of experience developing high-performance numerical solvers for weather, climate and molecular dynamics applications. He combines deep theoretical training (PhD in theoretical particle physics) with hands-on implementation and optimisation of multigrid and matrix-free algorithms, including GPU ports that have scaled to tens of thousands of cores and GPUs. His work bridges academia and operational forecasting—collaborating with the UK Met Office to integrate efficient iterative solvers into next-generation dynamical cores—and he led the design of a performance-portable Python framework for molecular dynamics. An active contributor to PETSc, he has added advanced HYPRE BoomerAMG options and fixed production-level bugs, showing attention to both algorithmic detail and robust software engineering. Known for teaching large undergraduate cohorts and supervising multiple PhDs, he blends research impact with sustained mentorship and production-grade code contributions.

Back-end Developer

Contributions:8 commits in 2 months

Contributions summary:Eike contributed to the PETSc library by adding and modifying options related to the HYPRE BoomerAMG preconditioner. This involved implementing features to allow selection of more complex smoothers, setting the number of levels for these smoothers, and adding options for Euclid smoother parameters. The changes included modifications to the source code files and involved calling HYPRE library functions to enable these new functionalities. Furthermore, the user addressed a bug related to the correct HYPRE method call and corrected comments.
