Summary
👤
SeniorFranck Cappello is an R&D lead and senior computer scientist with deep expertise in parallel computing, scientific data management, resilience for extreme-scale systems, and applying LLMs as research assistants. Based at Argonne National Laboratory, he has founded and led large multidisciplinary teams that produced production-grade tools (notably the SZ lossy compressor and the VeloC checkpointing environment) and earned multiple R&D100 awards and major community honors including the IEEE Charles Babbage and ACM HPDC Achievement Awards. His work spans exploratory research to deployed software used in production at petascale/exascale, and he has a track record of creating new evaluation methods and metrics—most recently scalable MCQs and lab/field-style experiments for LLM evaluation. An influential community builder, he co-founded an international extreme-scale computing laboratory and helped enable thousands of publications and PhD theses through platforms like Grid'5000. Less obvious: he blends principled algorithm and metric development with hands-on systems engineering that repeatedly translates novel ideas into widely adopted infrastructure.
