Dean Howarth

Dean’s research interests are low energy, multi-hadronic QCD, topology and the Gribov ambiguity in Yang-Mills theories, and the AdS/CFT correspondence on the Lattice. Specifically, relating phi^4 theory at its critical points (boundary CFT) to a gravity (bulk ADS) theory via long-range interactions. On the more practical side, he writes code to perform large scale lattice calculations on multi GPU and CPU architectures using MPI, openMP, openACC, and CUDA.

Dean is an active collaborator on the QUDA library and is currently funded by the exascale computing project. His latest work is implementing an efficient GPU eigensolver, improving the Multigrid fermion matrix inverter algorithm, and constructing new algorithms to increase data production in fundamental theoretical physics computations.
