ABSTRACT
Computing has witnessed the most exciting growth over the last few decades. As we enter the era of Exascale computers, Computing is having a major impact on our lives across multiple disciplines. 'Visions of Computing’ tries to capture some of the ideas, challenges and projects that are currently associated with Computing. Based on my personal research experience, but also on my work in defining the current European landscape in High-Performance Computing, I will present an overview of the opportunities, the complexity and the challenges that we are facing.
BIO
Luigi Del Debbio is a physicist based in Edinburgh, known for their work in theoretical physics, particularly in the areas of quantum field theory and lattice gauge theories. Their research often explores the fundamental aspects of particle physics and the underlying structures of the universe. Del Debbio is actively involved in teaching and mentoring early-career scientists in the field. Their work emphasizes both theoretical insights and computational methods, bridging the gap between abstract theory and practical applications.
Del Debbio has been associated with various European initiatives aimed at enhancing high-performance computing (HPC) capabilities. Their efforts have facilitated international collaborations, enabling researchers across Europe to tackle challenging scientific problems more efficiently. Through their engagement in HPC, Del Debbio not only promotes scientific innovation but also advocates for the importance of computational techniques in modern research, emphasizing their role in addressing fundamental questions in physics and other disciplines.
