People
Physics
Prof. Arber over 20 years of experience of developing software for plasma physics. This includes the development, and maintenance, of the Odin radiation-hydrodynamics code for laser fusion and the EPOCH particle kinetic code. Arber is the Chair of both the Plasma-CCP and Plasma-HEC consortia and is leader of the project to develop the core Odin code up to the standard where it can be used for laser fusion target point design. In addition to laser-plasma physics and fusion his research interests also include solar physics and space weather.
Dr. Bennett is a Senior Research Fellow at Warwick and is the lead developer of both the EPOCH and Odin projects. This work has seen him not only develop new algorithms but also optimise these for both workstations and national supercomputers. His expertise through EPOCH and Odin includes managing a team of developers. Prior to becoming SRF in Warwick, Bennett worked as research PDRA in radiation-hydrodynamics, solar MHD and in industry as a software developer for FGE ltd.
Dr. Brady was a PDRA at Warwick who was one of the original team working on EPOCH and Odin. He is currently head of Warwick's Research Software Engneering (RSE) group.
Alex is a PhD student in Warwick Physics working on LPI for shock ignition relevant experiments.
Duncan is a PhD student in Warwick Physics working on the implementation thermal conduction in the Odin ALE code.
Computer Science
Prof. Jarvis is Professor of High Performance Computing at the University of Warwick and co-organiser for one of the UK's High End Scientific Computing Training Centers. Before joining Warwick he held a Lectureship at the University of Oxford; in 2009 he was awarded a prestigious Royal Society Industry Fellowship in support of his industry-focused research on HPC.
Steven is a research fellow at the University of Warwick. He is currently working with Odin, exploring the use of modern heterogeous architectures, with a focus on improving performance on future supercomputers. Previously Steven has collaborated with Rolls-Royce plc. on developing performance models from closed-source applications, specifically focusing on the finite element code, LS-DYNA. Steven completed his Ph. D. in 2014 at the University of Warwick, in collaboration with AWE plc. and LANL, focusing on the monitoring, analysis and optimization of I/O in parallel applications.
