Thomas Gibson

Thomas is a Member of Technical Staff (MTS), Software System Design Engineer in the Data Center GPU Solutions and Performance Analysis group. He obtained his PhD in computational mathematics from Imperial College London, where he specialized in mixed finite element discretizations for numerical weather modeling codes. After completing his PhD in 2020, Thomas continued to work on structure-preserving (“compatible”) finite element methods and multigrid preconditioners for weather applications. He began shifting his research towards accelerating fluid dynamics codes using GPUs and developed high-fidelity/low-dissipation discontinuous Galerkin methods for turbulence and combustion models on GPUs. His current research interests include optimizing C, C++, and Fortran GPU applications; iterative solvers and preconditioning; finite element discretizations; and numerical weather prediction applications.
