Biography

Horacio González-Vélez is Professor of Computer Systems and Founding Head of the Cloud Competency Centre at National College of Ireland. His research is situated within the domains of High-Performance Computing (HPC), Parallel and Distributed Systems, and Advanced Digital Skills, with a particular emphasis on scalable, data-intensive and sustainable computational infrastructures. His work advances the application of HPC methodologies, addressing challenges in computational efficiency, energy consumption, and system adaptability.

He leads a multidisciplinary research agenda that combines theoretical foundations with applied innovation, focusing on the design and optimisation of distributed systems for real-world applications. His contributions extend to the development of advanced digital skills frameworks aligned with European digital transformation priorities.

González-Vélez currently coordinates two major EU-funded projects: DIGITAL4Business (€20M) on advanced digital skills, and GreenShift (€4.9M) on AI- and HPC-enabled green digital innovation in transport systems. His broader research portfolio includes projects in cybersecurity (Digital4Security), sustainable computing (Digital4Sustainability), and digital skills dissemination (SMARCO, Code4Europe).

He holds a PhD in Informatics from the University of Edinburgh and has received recognition from the European Commission for excellence in ICT dissemination. His work contributes to positioning HPC as a foundational enabler of scientific, industrial, and societal innovation.

Research Statement

My research entails the deployment of structured parallelism approaches in heterogeneous computing systems such as clouds, grids, and clusters. Dr Gonzalez-Velez also has a strong background in high-performance and enterprise computing, nurtured both in the academy and in industry. This diverse experience has led to aspirations of employing generic parallel patterns (skeletons) to the solution of domain-specific problems in computational science to develop a tight integration between specific computational problems, particularly in the biomedical and physical sciences, and their specific patterns of computation and communication.
