Generating Advances with AI for Neutrons/X-rays co-leader of WG3 (AI for knowledge) LINXS Fellow

Division Head, Data Management and Software Centre (DMSC), ESS

Thomas is Division Head of the Data Management and Software Centre (DMSC) at the European Spallation Source ERIC (ESS), where he is responsible for providing data management and scientific software solutions that support users from proposal to publication, and for leading ESS’s adaptation of AI in scientific workflows. Before joining ESS, Thomas held senior roles in start-up companies developing atomistic simulation software, and conducted postdoctoral research in computational enzyme catalysis and biophysics at Lund University and The Scripps Research Institute in California, USA. He holds an MSc in Theoretical Chemistry from the University of Copenhagen and a PhD in Computational Physics from the Technical University of Denmark. Thomas has played a pivotal role in developing advanced computing infrastructure and open-source software for European neutron science, is active in leading Pan-European collaborations such as the EU-funded projects SINE2020 and PaNOSC, and is the spokesperson for the scientific computing domain in the League of European Neutron Sources (LENS). In addition, he serves on advisory committees, including the Scientific Computing Steering Committee for HFIR & SNS, is the ESS main delegate to the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) Association, and co-organizes international summer schools and workshops in neutron science and scientific computing.
