Dirk Pleiter is a professor of high-performance computing at the Division of Computational Science and Technology at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm since January 2021. He joined Juelich Supercomputing Center (JSC) in April 2011 and was appointed professor at the University of Regensburg in parallel. At JSC, he has built up a research team on “Application-oriented technology development” and in this role, he was involved in various European projects, which mostly focused on co-design of future HPC architectures and technologies, but also closely worked with different computational science communities. He pursues collaborations with HPC solutions providers with in recent years a focus on Arm-based technologies. He also played a leading role in projects working on future HPC-based infrastructures, like PPI4HPC, the first joint procurement of HPC systems in Europe, and Fenix, an effort of various European supercomputing centers to create a federated collection of e-infrastructure services.
