Andreas Goetz US Q423

November 7, 2023

Andreas Goetz is an associate research scientist at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at the University of California San Diego where he leads a research group in Data-Driven and High-Performance Computational Chemistry, working at the intersection of chemistry, life sciences, and scientific computing. His research draws on quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, molecular dynamics, and machine learning approaches to enable simulations of complex molecular systems with applications from atmospheric chemistry to computational drug design on massively parallel computer architectures. He is a contributing author to the ADF and QUICK quantum chemistry software and the AMBER software for biomolecular simulations, which are widely used in academic and industrial research. Andreas also enjoys training the next generation of scientists in software engineering and numerical simulation methods via lectures, workshops, and supervision of interns. He is author of over 75 scientific publications and editor of the book ‘Electronic structure calculations on graphics processing units’. Prior to joining SDSC in 2009 Andreas performed postdoctoral research at the VU University in Amsterdam and obtained his undergraduate and Ph.D. degrees in chemistry from the Friedrich-Alexander University in Erlangen, Germany.
