Nathan Bell, PhD
About the speaker
Nathan Bell joined NVIDIA Research in August 2008. He received a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Georgia Institute of Technology and a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC).
Dr Bell contributes to several open source projects including Thrust—a high-level parallel template library—, Cusp—a library for sparse matrix operations—, and PyAMG—a library of algebraic multigrid solvers in Python.
His current research interests are:
- sparse linear solvers, and iterative methods
- algebraic multigrid methods
- GPU computing and programming models
