    Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. – Arthur C. Clarke


    Tyler’s interest in advanced technology has only ever been second to his drive to someday create it. Now as a PhD student at University of British Columbia he has the opportunity to do just that. He is currently researching methods to maximize performance in High Performance Computing systems (HPC), with special interest to scientific workloads. He is also interested in programming Quantum Computers, and strong Artificial Intelligence. Tyler believes that these three areas, HPC, QC and AI, will come together in the near future to produce the next generation of computing.



    Outside of academia, his heart is in travelling, nature and motorcycles. His travels have led him to the Red, Black, Dead, and Mediterranean Sea’s. He has listened to prayer in Amman, Jordan, got lost in the bazaars of Istanbul, Turkey, been sun burnt on beaches from Greece to Hawaii, and of course, found the cheapest (best?) food everywhere in between. The best of his travels however, have always been when hiking, skiing, kayaking, and motorcycling around his home province of beautiful British Columbia, Canada. Lily, his affectionately named motorcycle, is his muse and has been his escape for countless kilometers of blissful & exciting riding.
