Biography
Mark has been a researcher at Princeton University since 2006, focusing on high performance computing related to risk assessment. He completed his PhD at Princeton under Professor Erik VanMarcke in 2006 with a dissertation tilted Simulation-based seismic reliability assessment of complex structural systems. The work done for his dissertation required development of software for massively parallel HPC clusters, along with the generation and mining of large (100GB+) databases of results. After completing his dissertation, he worked for a year as a post-doc, leading the development and optimization of software to predict risk due to natural hazards for large portfolios of insured structures, including hurricane and seismic events. In 2007 he joined Michael Celia’s research group as a High Performance Computing Specialist, and coded and optimized the second generation of the simulation framework used by the research group, and being commercialized by GSC. Dobossy has co-lectured numerical methods courses with Michael Celia, and has lectured his own courses at Princeton on practical software development for engineering graduate students.
