PROFESSIONAL
HIGHLIGHTS
TEACHING, MENTORING: C++ MEETS HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING
Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science at LSU
Created and delivered lectures in graduate and undergraduate courses at Louisiana
State University, Baton Rouge, U.S.A. and Chemnitz University of Technology, Ger-
many
Mentored students at the PhD level including theses supervision at Louisiana State
University, Baton Rouge, U.S.A., Universitt Karlsruhe (TH), Germany, Berufsakade-
mie Dresden, Germany, and Chemnitz University of Technology, Germany
ACADEMIC RESEARCH: GRIDS AND HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING
Successful leadership of the design and development of HPX, the first software only
implementation of ParalleX - a new execution model for future high performance
computing systems.
Responsible for the design and development, and leading the implementation of ap-
plication oriented Grid technologies like the Grid Application Toolkit (GAT) and the
C++ reference implementation of the Simple API for Grid Applications (SAGA).
OPEN SOURCE ACTIVITIES: C++ LIBRARY DEVELOPMENT
Steering Committee Member of Boost (http://www.boost.org)
Continuously developing Spirit, one of the most advanced, open source, C++ parser
and generator libraries used by thousands of developers worldwide. Spirit is a par-
ser and generator framework implemented using C++ template meta-programming
techniques resembling EBNF directly in C++ (http://boost-spirit.com).
Actively involved in and leading the design and development of several widely used
open source libraries such as Wave (a fully conformant C/C++ preprocessor), and
Boost (a large collection of peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries).
COMMERCIAL SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT: SPATIAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Was in charge of and substantially involved in the architecture and system design,
the implementation and the testing of the widely used spatial information system
TRiAS for the Microsoft Windows platform (thousands of commercial customers
in Germany, about 1.5 million lines of C++ code).
