Gerhard Klimeck is a German-American scientist and author in the field of nanotechnology. The Director of nanoHUB, the Network for Computational Nanotechnology at Purdue University and a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, he formerly supervised technical projects for NASA's Applied Cluster Computing Technologies Group at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.[2] He is a senior member of IEEE and member of American Physical Society.
Education
Klimeck received his Ph.D. in 1994 from Purdue University with a 4.0 GPA where he studied electron transport through quantum dots, resonant tunneling diodes and 2-D electron gases. His German electrical engineering degree in 1990 from Ruhr University Bochum was concerned with the study of laser noise propagation. He was a Principal member of the technical staff at California Institute of Technology in 2003 and a former Research Associate at the University of Texas at Dallas.[3]
Career
His worked in the modeling of nanoelectronic devices, parallel cluster computing, genetic algorithms, and parallel image processing. Klimeck developed the Nanoelectronic Modeling tool (NEMO 3-D) for multimillion atom simulations and continues to expand NEMO 1-D. Previously he was a member of technical staff at the Central Research Lab of Texas Instruments where he served as manager and principal architect of the Nanoelectronic Modeling (NEMO 1-D) program, the Central Research Lab transitioned to the Applied Research Laboratory of Raytheon. The suite of NEMO 1-D, NEMO 3-D, and OMEN have been demonstrated to scale almost perfectly to 23,000, 8,192, and 22,720 cores on today's most advanced parallel computers in the world.
