Summary

I am a staff software engineer at J.P. Morgan, working on large-scale cloud-native compute distribution of financial risk modelling algorithms on public cloud(s).

I was part of the Research Staff at IBM T.J.Watson Research Center (New York), US until November 2018. Before moving to New York and joining IBM in January 2016 I was a postdoc researcher at Vrije University in Amsterdam (NL) and Chalmers Technical University in Gothenburg (Sweden).

I finished my graduate studies at Politehnica University of Bucharest. Before starting my PhD, I completed internships in the Molecular Dynamics group from the Groningen University, The Netherlands, where I worked on scientific algorithms for multi-scale molecular dynamics simulations, and in the Myriads group from INRIA, France, where I implemented a high availablity framework that allowed geo-distributed services to experience low latency overheads in dynamic and large scale systems.

I further pursued a PhD at University of Rennes 1, France, being financed by EDF. I worked with fluid dynamics simulations, understanding their resource characteristics while looking at improving the resource scheduling in a private HPC cloud. The outcome of my PhD was a resource management framework for HPC applications (batch MPI and task farming) providing automated life-cycle management and using spot market (auction) algorithms for prioritizing and scaling application resources, as well as load-balacing and migration algorithms for resource placement. This solution allowed more applications to share the infrastructure at the same time and incentivized scientists to better plan their computations, improving the cloud utilization.
