Sergio Martin is a Senior Researcher and High-Performance Computing specialist based in Zurich with 10 years of experience architecting and modeling HPC systems for science and industry. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from UC San Diego and has blended academic rigor with practical impact as a postdoc and lecturer at ETH Zürich, where he led the Korali project and taught HPC courses. Sergio has bridged research and industry as a lead quant engineer in crypto finance and now drives research at Huawei, bringing expertise in communication‑tolerant programming models and performance-aware system design. An active contributor to niche open-source projects, he applies compiler- and runtime-level insights to real-world debugging and feature work (e.g., restoring and hardening game replay logic in SDLPoP). Colleagues value his ability to translate dense research into production-ready software and teach complex concepts clearly to engineers and students alike.
