Dr. Maria Guadalupe Barrios Sazo

Dr. Maria Guadalupe Barrios Sazo joined the Research Software Engineer team at JSC in 2023. Before that she worked as an RSE for the Rosseland Centre of Solar Physics at the University of Oslo where she supported the software development efforts, performed studies of GPU porting, worked in verification, implemented CI tools and supervised summer students. She obtained her PhD in physics at Stony Brook University in NY and her research was in computational astrophysics. During that time she contributed to the development efforts of the Open Source AMReX based Castro code and led the implementation of an MHD solver. She utilized Castro for simulations of white dwarf mergers which she ran on a few supercomputers, including Summit. She is interested in scientific computing, high performance computing and software sustainability.
