Helen has been on the Organizing Committee of many conference series, including Super Computing (SC), Cray User Group (CUG), International Conference on High Performance Computing & Simulation (HPCS), and IXPUG (Intel Xeon Phi User Group (IXPUG). Helen has worked on investigating how large scale scientific applications can be run effectively and efficiently on massively parallel supercomputers: design parallel algorithms, develop and implement computing technologies for science applications. Some of her experiences include software programming environment, parallel programming paradigms such as MPI and OpenMP, scientific applications porting and benchmarking, distributed components coupling libraries, and climate models. She also provides support for climate users. She has been the main UEG point of contact, among users, system people, and vendors, for the Cray XT4 (Franklin), XE6 (Hopper) systems, and XC40 (Cori) systems at NERSC in the past 10 years.

Helen is a High Performance Computing consultant of the User Engagement Group at NERSC.
