Bio/Description

Background:  B.S. Mathematics

Garrett studied experimental mathematics at Temple University where he focused on novel GPU computations, particularly eigensystems of certain random graph families. Garrett then worked in industry developing peta-scale time series models including production distributed systems and algorithms for quantitative finance in HTC and high frequency streaming domains. Over the years he has worked in HPC roles supporting the Princeton scientific community at GFDL and PPPL. At GFDL he authored their flagship GPU Radiative Transfer Code, GRTCODE. Similarly he developed cuOrbit a CUDA implementation of PPPL's toroidally confined plasma guiding center simulation.
