Douglas Friedel

I received dual BS degrees in Physics and Math from Clarkson University in 1995. In 2005, I earned my PhD in Astronomy from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, specializing in radio astronomy and astrochemistry. From 2005, I worked as a Postdoctoral researcher and then Research Software engineer for the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy, until it was decommissioned in 2015. My work was a combination of astrochemistry research and writing code for both software and hardware subsystems of the array. In 2015, I moved to the National Center for Supercomputing Applications. While here, I have worked on several projects, including the Dark Energy Survey, Crops-in-Silico, the Center for Exascale-enabled Scramjet Design, and ILLIXR.
