http://www.cct.lsu.edu/~eschnett/

Erik Schnetter is a researcher in the Coast-to-Cosmos focus area at the CCT. His main scientific interests include black holes and neutron stars in relativistic computational astrophysics as well as high performance computing and software frameworks in computer science. He joined the CCT in September 2005.

Erik is the original author and the project leader of Carpet, the adaptive mesh refinement and multi-block driver for Cactus. He is principal investigator of the NSF "Alpaca" grant to invent new, framework-based profiling and debugging tools for HPC environments. He also participates in the XiRel collaboration to create and improve software infrastructure for numerical relativity.
