Biography

Philipp is deputy head of the Research Center HPC at the University of Innsbruck, Austria. He graduated in the Doctoral Programme Computational Interdisciplinary Modelling in Computer Science at the University of Innsbruck, focusing on performance and energy analysis and optimization of parallel programs. Philipp’s main interests lie in research and training in high performance computing and scientific computing, including adjacent topics such as programming model design, runtime systems, or compiler research. He collaborated in multiple national and international projects (e.g. H2020 PRACE-6IP, EuroHPC LIGATE, H2020 AllScale, numerous PRACE and EuroHPC Access projects, CHIST-ERA GEMSCLAIM, FWF/DST EASE, FFG AutoCore) and co-organized multiple international conferences.
