Stijn Heldens🔊

Welcome to my personal webpage. I am a Dutch computer scientist, currently a Research Software Engineer (RSE) at the Netherlands eScience Center (NLeSC) and a visiting researcher at the University of Amsterdam (UvA).

I am passionate about accelerating scientific applications and making the vast computing power of today's high-performance computing (HPC) systems more accessible to researchers. By making these platforms more user-friendly, scientists can focus on their research and achieve groundbreaking discoveries.

My research interests focus on high-performance computing (HPC), particularly in the areas of parallel algorithms, distributed systems, programming languages and compilers, and GPU programming.
