Summary
Judith Hill is a computational science leader with 16+ years of experience specializing in numerical methods for massively parallel systems, currently serving as Computational Science Project Leader at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. She has led large scientific computing teams and national programs—most recently as Group Leader at Oak Ridge and INCITE Program Manager—helping ready applications for Summit and Frontier-class architectures. Her technical focus spans multiphysics and multidomain coupling, implicit interface methods, and large-scale PDE-constrained optimization applied to CFD, climate, and chemistry. A Ph.D. in Computational Science and Engineering from Carnegie Mellon, she pairs deep algorithmic expertise with program-level execution across DOE leadership computing facilities. Beyond research, Judy is active in the professional community as a SIAM CSE program director and frequent reviewer for top computational journals and proposal panels, reflecting a commitment to stewarding the field as well as advancing it. An understated strength is her track record of translating readiness efforts across multiple facilities into coordinated, production-scale application delivery.
