Paul Melis is senior visualization advisor in the High-Performance Computing & Visualization group at SURF, having worked at SURFsara and SARA since 2009. He provides data visualization support for HPC users on Snellius, works on visualization projects (both internal and external) and still occasionally finds the time to do some C++/Python/Javascript/Julia/ development.

Besides supporting HPC users with visualization, he spends part of his time on XR innovation for education and research, including co-organizing National XR Day and coordinating the XR Developer Network.
