Bio

Davide Del Vento is Software Engineer at National Center for Atmospheric Research, where he works since 2008 as a High Performance Computing Specialist. In this role, he provides assistance to the UCAR computing community of scientists and programmers on a variety of topics, including optimization and tuning, parallel computing, data analysis and debugging. He contributes to design, development, testing and maintenance of local software packages. Davide also serves as a Software Engineer for the XSEDE Novel and Innovative Projects (NIP) group and for the XSEDE Extended Collaborative Support Services (ECSS) program.

Moreover, Davide is the Chairman of the Software Engineering Assembly since 2010.

In a previous life, he worked as a member of the control team for the Visible InfraRed Thermal Imaging Spectrometer onboard the Venus Express mission from the European Space Agency. The mission was operational around the planet Venus from 2006 to 2014.
