Top SchoolGeorge Magklaras is a seasoned HPC and DevOps engineer with 11+ years of hands-on experience designing, operating and securing multi-petabyte Linux clusters for scientific computing, operational weather prediction and climate research. As Chief Engineer in HPC Systems at the Norwegian Meteorological Institute he manages GPU-accelerated clusters, parallel filesystems (Lustre), high-speed fabrics and production SLURM/SGE deployments while driving automation, monitoring and lifecycle operations. He combines deep DFIR and intrusion-detection research—authoring tools like LUARM and POFR—with practical disaster recovery and forensic workflows applied to HPC environments. George has led IT at university research centers, advised clients on HPC cloud transitions as a board member and CTO, and teaches Red Hat curriculum, blending academic rigor with production reliability. His background spans bioinformatics, aerospace and international standards work, and he quietly bridges low-level systems programming (C/C++, Perl, Python, Go) with large-scale operations. Based in Oslo, he mentors DevOps teams to make forensic-grade, auditable systems that scale to thousands of cores.
