Dr Ronan Keryell joins HPC Project as Chief Scientific Officer

Dr Keryell has over 25 years of research and industrial experience in parallelism and high-performance computing. He holds a post-graduate degree from the Ecole Normale Superieure and a PhD in computer science. An associate professor in the Computer Science research center of the Paris École des Mines engineering school (ENSMP/CRI) and in the Telecommunication engineering school in Bretagne, Dr Keryell also worked with the computer science lab of Paris XI/ENS. Ronan Keryell is an internationally recognized  expert in compilation, code development and system-on-chip design for high-performance computing. Especially, he co-developed PIPS, a world reference automatic parallelizer and code transformation framework. He published more than 70 articles in the fields of High Performance Computing architecture, compilation & parallelization and security for High Performance Computing.

"There are very few people who have the scope of experience that Ronan has in directing science in this sector " said Pierre Fiorini, president and CEO of HPC Project."Part of the skill base he brings is his ability to understand this environment that has been moving significantly over the past ten years. Ronan has been working with the world top-level laboratories, and understands the challenges of High Performance Computing better than most researchers in the field. “

As CSO, Dr Ronan Keryell will have responsibility for planning and execution of HPC Project’s scientific objectives, and building relationships with the most advanced laboratories in the domain.
