Join Peter as he shares the dynamic use of SURF’s infrastructure by the advanced computing community in 2024. Who are the key players leveraging the technology? Michielse also takes a moment to honor Wim Nieuwpoort, a pioneering figure in high-performance computing, reflecting on his lasting impact and the legacy that continues to inspire the field today.
Peter Michielse holds a PhD in numerical mathematics from Delft University of Technology (1990). Since then, has been working in the HPC arena in various technical and management roles at computer vendors (Silicon Graphics/Cray), the Dutch Research Council (NWO) and since 2011 at SARA/SURFsara and now at SURF. Currently, he is the strategic advisor of the COO of SURF for a range of subjects.
