Dr Emily Kahl
Computational science
Emily works as a software developer embedded in the Bernhardt group, where she develops and maintains numerical codes for molecular simulations. Her two focuses are the development of scientific software for massively-parallel computer architectures (i.e. supercomputers) and on improving the quality and uptake of open-source projects in computational science.
Emily completed her undergraduate studies in physics and computational science at the University of Queensland, before moving down to Sydney for a PhD at the University of New South Wales. She was awarded her PhD in physics in 2021, focusing on the development and application of high-performance, parallel software for relativistic atomic structure calculations. She returned to UQ to join the Bernhardt group at AIBN in 2020, where she works closely with research-oriented group members to improve accessibility to high-performance computational resources and tools.
