He was a Research Scientist at Akamai Technologies and a Computational Mathematician in the Mathematics and Computer Science Department at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL). In 2009, he joined the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ci.uchicago.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\">Computation Institute<\/a> as a Senior Research Associate.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Knepley&#8217;s research focuses on scientific computation, including fast methods, parallel computing, software development, numerical analysis, and multicore architectures. He is an author of the widely used <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mcs.anl.gov\/petsc\/petsc-as\/\" target=\"_blank\">PETSc<\/a> library for scientific computing from ANL, and is a principal software developer of the <a href=\"http:\/\/barbagroup.bu.edu\/Barba_group\/PetFMM.html\" target=\"_blank\">PetFMM<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/barbagroup.bu.edu\/Barba_group\/PetRBF.html\" target=\"_blank\">PetRBF<\/a> libraries, for the parallel fast multipole method and parallel radial basis function interpolation, respectively. He is a part of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fenics.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">FEniCS<\/a> collaboration for automated scientific computing. He was a J.T. Oden Faculty Research Fellow at the Institute for Computation Engineering and Sciences, UT Austin, in 2008, and won the R&amp;D 100 Award in 2009 as part of the PETSc team.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Knepley\u2019s areas of research interest include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>parallel algorithms for scientific computing<\/li>\n<li>large scale finite element simulation<\/li>\n<li>classical density functional theory for biomolecules<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Sample publications<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>PetFMM\u2014A dynamically load-balancing parallel fast multipole library, Felipe A.
