Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolZechariah Jibben is a computational scientist with 11 years of experience specializing in multi-physics simulation, applied mathematics, and high-performance computing at Los Alamos National Laboratory. He develops and optimizes production-grade codes for compressible and multi-material flows (xRage, Truchas, Pececillo) and has a track record of modernizing legacy Fortran code into dramatically faster, thread- and GPU-accelerated implementations. His work spans algorithm development—surface fitting for interface curvature, surface tension modeling, and discontinuous Galerkin level-set methods—and practical HPC engineering for AMR and many-material simulations. Zechariah holds a PhD in Aerospace Engineering and has published in leading journals while mentoring students and contributing to summer schools. Based in Los Alamos, he blends deep theory with hands-on performance tuning across CPUs, Xeon Phis, and GPUs—a capability that routinely turns research prototypes into scalable simulation tools.
