Kei Davis is a seasoned research scientist and software engineer with over 25 years of experience in high-performance and parallel computing, currently a Guest Scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory. He combines deep theoretical foundations (PhD from Glasgow and an MSc from Oxford) with hands-on systems work, from writing a Haskell compiler and C runtime for an auto-parallelizing functional language to contributing to LLVM-based Fortran tooling. Known for pioneering work on lazy functional language runtimes and projection-based strictness analysis, he blends language design, compiler construction, and performance engineering. Based in Los Alamos, he has a track record of turning ambitious research prototypes into practical tools for supercomputing environments, and maintains a quietly influential presence across academic and national-lab collaborations.
