Joe Eaton holds a Ph.D. in Computational and Applied Mathematics from the University of Texas at Austin's TICAM program. His fascination with CFD and fluid mechanics led to two Mechanical Engineering degrees (Rice University and Stanford University) before he decided it was really all about the math. Joe's Ph.D. work was on AMG applied to reservoir simulation problems, mixed with high performance chemistry simulation and parallel computing. He joined NVIDIA in 2013 to lead the AmgX product team.
