Aaron Fisher is the High Performance Computing for Energy Innovation (HPC4EI) Director and the head of the Numerical Analysis and Simulations Group at LLNL. Before his role as Director, he was the HPC4EI Project Manager and principal investigator for several HPC4EI projects including the first seedling project to stand up the High Performance Computing for Manufacturing program. He has long experience in simulation code development, utilizing Multiphysics CFD codes, HPC, and integrating these skills to solve industry problems. These efforts stretch back to the late 1990s with work at Sandia National Laboratories on next generation lithography in collaboration with the microprocessor industry. More recently Aaron has lead efforts working with steel industry partners to model and improve steel making processes.
Presentation Title:
Advancing US Manufacturing: How HPC Drives Efficiency, Security, and Competitiveness
Presentation Abstract:
High-Performance Computing (HPC) has significant potential to transform US manufacturing by enabling higher energy efficiency, greater US competitiveness, and enhanced security through onshoring production of critical materials and supplies. As manufacturers face increasing global competition, supply chain disruptions, and rising energy demands, leveraging advanced computing technologies is more important than ever. In this discussion, we will explore the various ways HPC is being utilized across key manufacturing sectors, and highlight our efforts to facilitate HPC adoption through the High-Performance Computing for Energy Innovation (HPC4EI) program
