- name: Christian Bischof

affiliation: Technical University (TU) Darmstadt

bio: "Christian Bischof is professor for scientific computing and head of the university computing center at Technical University (TU) Darmstadt. He studied Mathematics at the University of Würzburg, then continued his studies at Cornell University under a Fulbright fellowship, and completed a Ph.D. in computer science in 1988. Thereafter, he joined the Mathematics and Computer Science Division at Argonne National Laboratory as the first Wilkinson Fellow in Computational Mathematics, and continued as staff member until 1998. Then he was professor for high-performance computing and head of the Center for Computing and Communication at RWTH Aachen University until 2011. His research interests include performance engineering, performance measurement and modeling, algorithms for cryptanalysis, source transformations and automatic differentiation as well as software engineering practices for reliability and reproducibility. He is a head of the National High-Performance Computing Center for Computational Engineering Sciences (NHR4CES), a joint effort of TU Darmstadt with RWTH Aachen University."

- name: Helen Cademartori

affiliation: Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

bio: "Helen Cademartori is the Deputy of Operations for the Computing Sciences Area, and the Computational Research Division. She has held similar positions in Biosciences and the IT Division during her 13 year tenure at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (Berkeley Labs). In her current role she oversees all business and operational aspects of operations including Human Resources, finance, travel, conferences and procurement, proposal development, space management and environmental health and safety. She is also responsible for strategic planning for new initiatives and infrastructure upgrades."

- name: Devin Hodge

affiliation: Argonne National Laboratory

bio: "Devin Hodge is the Chief Operations Officer for Argonne National Laboratory’s Computing, Environment, and Life Sciences (CELS) directorate. He leads both long- and short-range strategic and tactical operations for CELS and is responsible for the development, implementation, and management of efficient, cost- effective, and high-quality operational and administrative support activities for the directorate. He has more than two decades of leadership experience. Prior to his current appointment, Devin was the Deputy Director of Operations for Argonne’s Joint Center for Energy Storage Research, and he has held positions in sustainability, waste management, environmental compliance, nuclear operations, and project management. Recently, Devin led a team that collected feedback on employee perspectives on long-term full- and part-time remote work (after the disruption of COVID-19) as part of Argonne’s Next Generation Workplace initiative."

- name: Kengo Nakajima
