Misun Min is a Computational Mathematician at Argonne National Laboratory. She holds a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from Brown University, where she studied spectral methods for PDEs. She is the Argonne PI for the Center for Efficient Exascale Discretizations, supported under DOE’s Exascale Computing Project. Dr. Min's research focuses on high-order methods for energy applications such as wind, nuclear, and fusion. A major part of her effort is directed towards performance and scalability, whether using millions of CPUs or tens of thousands of GPUs. She developed the first GPU-enabled variant of the Nek code suite using OpenACC for NekCEM simulations on OLCF's Titan. She leads the scaling efforts for Nek5000/RS, with problems exceeding two billion spectral elements on DOE’s OLCF and ALCF platforms. Dr. Min’s software developments, including spectral element codes for electromagnetics (NekCEM), high-order lattice-Boltzmann methods (NekLBM), and fluid-thermal transport (Nek5000/RS), have been recognized with an RD100 award.
