Christopher S Thompson's Profile Photo

Lead Software Engineer

Christopher began his career at a biotech startup in the Purdue Research Park before returning to his alma mater as a Purdue IT employee in 2010. Within the Scientific Solutions Group of RCAC, Christopher aides both local research teams and PIs from institutions around the country in how to build scientific gateways and other methods of bridging the gaps between users, scientific models, and HPC systems. In his time with RCAC he has been involved in several high-profile programs like TeraGrid, XSEDE, NEES, and NHERI.
