RMACC HPC Symposium 2015

Jacqueline H. Chen has contributed broadly to research in petascale direct numerical 
simulations (DNS) of turbulent combustion focusing on fundamental turbulence-
chemistry interactions. These benchmark simulations  provide fundamental insight into 
combustion processes and are used by the combustion modeling community to develop 
and validate turbulent combustion models for engineering CFD simulations.  In 
collaboration with computer scientists and applied mathematicians she is the founding 
Director of the Center for Exascale Simulation of Combustion in Turbulence (ExaCT).  
She leads an interdisciplinary team to co-design DNS algorithms, domain-specific 
programming environments,  scientific data management and in situ uncertainty 
quantification and analytics, and architectural simulation and modeling with combustion 
proxy applications.  She received the DOE INCITE Award in 2005, 2007, 2008-2015 and 
the Asian American Engineer of the Year Award in 2009.  She is a member of the DOE 
Advanced Scientific Computing Research Advisory Committee (ASCAC) and 
Subcommittees on Exascale Computing, and Big Data and Exascale.  She is the editor of 
Flow, Turbulence and Combustion, the co-editor of the Proceedings of the Combustion 
Institute, volumes 29 and 30, and is a member of the Board of Directors of the 
Combustion Institute.
