Douglass E. Post

Douglass E. Post has been developing and applying large-scale multi-physics simulations for almost 35 years. He is the Chief Scientist of the DoD High Performance Computing Modernization Program and a member of the senior technical staff of the Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute. He also leads the multi-institutional DARPA High Productivity Computing Systems Existing Code Analysis team. Doug received a Ph.D. in Physics from Stanford University in 1975. He led the tokamak modeling group at Princeton University Plasma Physics Laboratory from 1975 to 1993 and served as head of International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) Joint Central Team Physics Project Unit (1988-1990), and head of ITER Joint Central Team In-vessel Physics Group (1993-1998). More recently, he was the A-X Associate Division Leader

for Simulation at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (1998-2000) and the Deputy X Division Leader for Simulation at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (2001-2002), positions that involved leadership of major portions of the US nuclear weapons simulation program. He has published over 230 refereed papers, conference papers and books in computational, experimental and theoretical physics and software engineering with over 5000 citations. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, the American Nuclear Society, and the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers. He serves as an Associate Editor-in-Chief of the joint AIP/IEEE publication "Computing in Science and Engineering".
