Dr. Micael Oliveira

Micael leads the Software Transformation Team – bringing the specialist software engineering skills required for the ACCESS modelling framework to take advantage of advances in computing hardware, and to position ACCESS for future changes in technology. Micael enjoys designing and developing complex pieces of software and enabling new science through software engineering best-practices and use of state-of-the-art hardware architectures.

Micael has a PhD in Computational Physics, from the University of Coimbra, Portugal, 2009. Micael is interested in all aspects of software development and high-performance computing applied to fundamental scientific research. He has a lot of experience in developing massively parallel scientific codes, and is a strong advocate for well written, modular, reusable, easy to maintain software.

Outside of work, Micael enjoys reading, running and playing board games.
