Bio
Dr. William F Godoy joined ORNL in 2016, and is currently a Senior Computer Scientist in the Computational Science and Mathematics Division, CSMD. A native of Peru, his background is in Mechanical Engineering with a strong research and development (R&D) focus on high-performance computing (HPC), parallel programming models, data I/O, and workflows.
Dr. Godoy obtained his PhD (2009) and MS (2006) degrees from the State University of New York at Buffalo, working under the supervision of Dr. Paul E. DesJardin on 3D radiative transfer parallel computational models. Before ORNL, he worked as a Senior Software Engineer at Intel Corporation (2012-2016) and a postdoctoral fellow at NASA Langley (2009-2012).
At ORNL, Dr. Godoy contributed to the US Department of Energy Exascale Computing Project as (i) the architect and core developer of ADIOS 2, the Adaptable Input Output System version 2, (ii) contributor to the QMCPACK software, and (iii) researching the LLVM-based Julia language for HPC under PROTEAS-TUNE - which led to a best paper at WORKS SC23 and a first paper applying large language models (LLMs) to HPC. He also worked on improving the file loading times and performance of data reduction workflows impacting users at ORNL neutron science facilities: SNS and HFIR.
Dr. Godoy currently serves as the co-PI of S4PST and member of PESO, members of CASS and funded by the ASCR Next Generation of Scientific Software Technologies, and as co-PI of a EXPRESS project on power models for novel hardware. He also serves as a mentor on several internship programs and technical committees. He is a senior member of IEEE, and a member of ACM.
