A research infrastructure for science with extreme-scale data and computing needs

Thomas Schulthess studied physics at ETH Zurich, earning a doctorate in natural sciences in 1994. In 1995 he moved to the USA, working as a researcher in computational materials science and condensed matter physics. In 2008, Thomas made a return to ETH Zurich from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, where he is a professor of computational physics and director of the Swiss National Supercomputing Center (CSCS) located in Lugano.
