Dr. Wenjun Ge is a computational scientist specializing in the development of models, algorithms, and software to address large-scale challenges, leveraging cutting-edge HPC architectures. He obtained his from the University of California, Merced, in 2017. During his PhD, he developed for the spherical harmonics method, and the first for radiating gases in turbulent combustion simulations.
At ORNL, he has worked on multiple HPC projects developing GPU/CPU portable software for various scientific and engineering problems: including the and modules for , parallel strategy for , and . He also applied his knowledge and computational tools in reacting flow and radiative transfer to real-world applications, such as for high quality ceramic matrix composites, for high-quality synthesis of 2D materials on wafers, and with fewer knocks and higher turbulence-dilution-tolerance. He views curiosity and the drive to capture the physics behind simulated phenomena as the foundation of his research, shaping his approach to Exascale tool development and data processing.
Currently, he is collaborating with industrial partners and plasma scientists on diverse computational and data challenges that demand extensive computational resources.
