Douglas Kothe

Biography
Douglas B. Kothe (Doug) has over three decades of
experience in conducting and leading applied R&D in
computational applications designed to simulate complex
physical phenomena in the energy, defense, and
manufacturing sectors. Doug is currently the Director of
the Exascale Computing Project. Prior to that, he was
Deputy Associate Laboratory Director of the Computing and
Computational Sciences Directorate at Oak Ridge National
Laboratory (ORNL). Other prior positions for Doug at ORNL,
include Director of the Consortium for Advanced Simulation
of Light Water Reactors (2010-2015), and Director of
Science at the National Center for Computational Sciences
(2006-2010).
Before joining ORNL, Doug spent 20 years at Los Alamos National Laboratory, where he held a number of technical line and program management positions, with a common theme being the development and application of modeling and simulation technologies targeting multi-physics phenomena characterized in part by the presence of compressible or incompressible interfacial fluid flow.
