Gihan Mudalige is a Professor at the University of Warwick's Department of Computer Science. His research focuses on developing high-performance computing (HPC) simulation software libraries with domain-specific languages and high-level abstraction frameworks targeting multi-core/many-core and reconfigurable computer architectures. Recent and ongoing research projects include collaborations with Rolls-Royce plc, NAG, the Alan Turing Institute, IBM TJ Watson Laboratory, and the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC). In 2018, Gihan was awarded a four-year Royal Society Industry Fellowship with Rolls-Royce plc, focusing on developing future-ready massively parallel CFD simulations for Exascale HPC systems. He was also a Co-Investigator of the £7M Strategic Partnership in Computational Science for Advanced Simulation and Modelling of Engineering Systems (ASiMoV) project, funded by the UK EPSRC and Rolls-Royce. His work in ASiMoV was the recipient of the 2022 Scientific Visualization and Data Analytics Showcase award at the Supercomputing (SC) conference. Previously, Gihan was a Senior Researcher at the University of Oxford’s e-Research Centre and worked as a research intern in the University of Wisconsin-Madison (USA).  Gihan holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Warwick.
