Mathematics & Computation (M&C) 2021 Speaker
Nick Gentile got a B.S. in Physics from Carnegie-Mellon University in 1986 and a Ph.D. in Applied Science from the University of California, Davis in 1994 as part of UCD’s Department of Applied Science located at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. As a summer student, graduate student, post-doc, term employee, and career employee at LLNL, Nick has spent over 30 years at LNLL. His current job is developing Monte Carlo particle transport algorithms and software for current generation and future advanced computing architectures. His research interests include radiation hydrodynamics, hybrid Monte Carlo/Deterministic methods, and object-oriented programing. He organized the 25th International Conference on Transport Theory, Monterey, California in 2017, serves as associate editor of the Journal of Computational and Theoretical Transport, and is the current chair of the ANS Mathematics and Computation Division.
