Nicholas J. Wright is the chief architect and the advanced technologies group lead at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing (NERSC) center. Most recently, he led the effort to optimize the architecture of the Perlmutter machine, the first NERSC platform designed to meet needs of both large scale simulation and data analysis from experimental facilities. His research interests are in performance analysis of HPC applications and architectures and he has published more than 40 papers in these areas. Nicholas has a Ph.D. from the University of Durham in computational chemistry and has been with NERSC since 2009.
