Jonas Latt is an Associate Professor in Computer Science at the University of Geneva (Switzerland) researching CFD and HPC and the principal author of the widely used parallel CFD code Palabos. An early adopter of C++ standard language parallelism, he used this approach to port Palabos to multi-GPU systems and seized the opportunities of multiple conferences and seminars to teach the principles and advantages of this formalism to the CFD community. Director of the post-doctoral program in computer science for the Universities of Western Switzerland, he is dedicated to teaching. He has expressed his conviction for using HPC systems in scientific computing as a many-year committee member of CADMOS, the center of scientific computing and high-performance computing of Western Switzerland.
