Ossian O’Reilly

Ossian is a Member of Technical Staff (MTS), Software System Design Engineer in the Data Center GPU Solutions and Performance Analysis group at AMD. He works on porting and optimizing scientific computing and engineering applications for AMD GPUs. He holds a PhD in Geophysics from Stanford University and a PhD in Computational Mathematics from Linköping University, Sweden. His doctoral research focused on high-order numerical methods for seismic wave propagation containing frictional interfaces and fluid-filled cracks, with applications to earthquake and volcano seismology, and the Oil & Gas industry. As a postdoc, he worked on numerical method development and analysis for seismic wave propagation with topography and implementing GPU stencil kernels targeting the OLCF Summit supercomputer. Some of Ossian’s technical interests include high-order numerical methods for partial differential equations, stencil-based and matrix-free methods, and GPU kernel development and optimization.
