I am Jorge Luis Galvez Vallejo, recent PhD graduate from Iowa State University under Mark S. Gordon. My work focuses in porting algorithms and applications relevant in computational chemistry to high performance computing environments. I have specialized in this for the last 4 years and I love it with my heart and soul.

I am originally form Mexico and just got a job offer from Australia, however visa procedures are slow and I want to keep up doing the good work.

I am working on improving existing algorithms within the GAMESS quantum chemistry program and its C++/CUDA arm called: LibCChem. I am also heavily invested in a soon-to-be-released quantum chemistry application which greatly takes advantage of HPC resources. I also collaborate on the open source quantum chemistry code JuliaChem.

GAMESS is a free to use software and JuliaChem is fully open source.

With the funds that you give me I will continue to work on these applications to develop better and more powerful tools to enable quantum chemistry calculations at many levels! The money will go directly to keeping me alive, i.e. paying for food and utilities.
