Rebecca J. Hartman-Baker

Rebecca Hartman-Baker leads the User Engagement Group at NERSC. She is a computational scientist with expertise in the development of scalable parallel algorithms for the petascale and beyond. Her other research interests include inverse and ill-posed problems, numerical optimization methods, and developing effective techniques for training users of HPC resources. She joined NERSC from iVEC in Australia, where she coached two teams in the Student Cluster Competition at the annual Supercomputing conference, led the HPC training program for a time, and was in charge of the decision-making process for determining the architecture of the petascale supercomputer at the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre.
