Mary works at the San Diego Supercomputer
Center in the Data-Enabled Scientific Computing Division, where she is the HPC/CI
Advanced Computing Training
Lead, and is responsible for developing and organizing educational and training materials to support the work of scientists running computational problems on HPC systems, including the SDSC Expanse and Voyager systems. Her research is focussed on computational science, parallel programming, advanced computational environments that support high-end scientific applications, and workforce development of the community of people who need to use HPC/CI resources. Thomas is PI or Co-PI of three NSF CyberTraining grants that focus on: developing cyberinfrastructure professionals who will facilitate researchers to access and use NSF CI resources and services (#2230127, PI); teach researchers best practices for developing scalable AI/ML applications (#2017767, PI); and developing taxonomies for a federated training materials repository (#2320977, Co-PI).
Mary works with graduate and undergraduate students through the SDSC HPC Students program. Her support and mentoring includes:
mentoring interns in parallel computing on the Expanse cluster; developing advanced web technologies for the SDSC Advanced Computing Training program; and
advising the IEEE Supercomputing Club,where she has sponsored several teams to participate in the annual Student Cluster Competitions at the annual Supercomputing conference. For more information, see https://www.sdsc.edu/~mthomas/index.html.
For information about HPC Students Internships, and current openings, see: https://www.sdsc.edu/~mthomas/internships.html
Mary is also a Research Faculty member at the Computational Sciences Research Center and the Department of Computer Science at San Diego State University.
