Interests
Sivasankaran Rajamanickam is a distinguished member of technical staff at Sandia National Laboratories. His interest is broadly in the areas of high performance computing, specifically in machine learning for science, performance portable algorithms for linear solvers and linear algebra / graph kernels, and co-design of algorithms and architectures. Most of his works are in the intersection of these areas where interesting opportunities lie to solve problems that are of importance to computational science applications.
