I am a Pre-Doctoral researcher in the TU Wien at the Research Group Parallel Computing. My research interests revolve around the High Performance Computing (HPC) area. Specifically, performance optimization of HPC applications and the performance of MPI libraries such as Open MPI and MPICH. Past research includes topics on Interconnects, Resilience and Fault-tolerance.

My current research thesis is concerned with the mapping and colocation of parallel applications to the deep resource hierarchy of HPC systems. To delve deeper into this subject I developed a new profiling tool called mpisee for the MPI to explore the use and mapping of MPI communicators by the applications.
