Iain works at EPCC, specialising in performance analysis and optimisation of HPC applications. He develops scalable software to allow researchers to harness HPC resources such as HECToR and ARCHER - the UK National HPC Services - and the European PRACE infrastructure. Most of his work has been in the area of Materials Science, and he is a developer on the CP2K project - a powerful program enabling Density Functional Theory and other atomistic modelling techniques to be applied a diverse range of systems using tens of thousands of CPU cores at a time.

Iain has a wide-ranging interest in high performance computing architectures and programming models including MPI, OpenMP, CUDA and OpenCL and is a developer for the PrimeGrid volunteer computing project, which promotes mass participation in the solution of mathematical problems, as well as finding very large - million digit - prime numbers
