Jeffrey Young

Jeffrey Young is a Principal Research Scientist at Georgia Institute of Technology, working with the Partnership for Advanced Computing Environments (PACE) and leading Georgia Tech’s Open Source Program Office. His research focuses on high-performance computing (HPC), computer architecture, and novel accelerators including GPUs, FPGAs, and Arm/RISC-V processors.

He leads next-generation computing strategy at PACE and directs the NSF-funded CRNCH Rogues Gallery testbed, which explores post-Moore accelerators like neuromorphic and near-memory systems. His work bridges hardware-software co-design and scientific software engineering.

Recent research trends show expertise in quantum programming (Qwerty/ASDF), heterogeneous computing (Cupbop), and memory system optimization across GPUs, FPGAs, and CPUs. He has contributed to exascale workflows (HIPLZ), safe HPC libraries, and UAV co-simulation frameworks.
