Thomas Schulthess is director of the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) and a professor for computational physics at ETH Zürich. He received his Ph.D. in 1994 from ETH Zürich and spent many years at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, where today he holds a distinguished visiting scientist appointment. While his primary research is on computational methods for materials science, he recently took interest in the development of energy-efficient computing systems for climate modeling and meteorology.
