Dmitry Lyakh
Dmitry Lyakh is a principal math libraries engineer at NVIDIA. He defended his PhD in Quantum Chemistry in 2009. An indistinguishable part of his PhD work was development of high-performance computing software and automated tools for symbolic and numeric tensor algebra processing. After postdoctoral research at the Quantum Theory project at the University of Florida, where he continued working on automated simulation software for quantum many-body theory, Lyakh joined the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in 2013. As part of the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing facility, he focused on scalable methodology, algorithms, and software for quantum sciences, including quantum chemistry, condensed matter physics, and quantum computing. In 2022, Lyakh joined NVIDIA to work on GPU-accelerated software ecosystem for scalable quantum computing simulations where he is responsible for advancing the cuQuantum SDK library which has been integrated into many prominent quantum simulators broadly used by the quantum information science community.
