Summary
Oliver Gutsche is a scientific computing leader and particle physicist with over 15 years of experience building and operating petabyte-scale distributed computing and software systems for flagship experiments like CMS and DUNE. As Deputy Associate Laboratory Director for CSAID at Fermilab, he drives strategic and tactical initiatives that align long-term computing resources with experimental needs, having created the CREST planning process and co-authored an HL-LHC R&D roadmap. He combines deep domain expertise in HEP analysis, Monte Carlo simulation, and statistical methods with hands-on mastery of grid, cloud, and supercomputer infrastructures that process workloads across >100k-core systems. Previously he managed U.S. CMS software and Tier-1/2 operations, leading global data operations and software teams that enabled the community-scale analyses behind discoveries such as the Higgs boson. Known for bridging research and infrastructure, he repeatedly turns complex physics requirements into scalable, production-grade computing solutions.
