Charles Lively III
Charles Lively III, PhD is a science engagement engineer and HPC Consultant in the User Engagement Group (UEG) under Dr. Rebecca Hartman-Baker at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing (NERSC) Center at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
Charles earned his Ph.D. from Texas A&M University (2012) under Dr. Valerie E. Taylor. Charles' dissertation work focused on performance modeling and optimization of scientific applications in high-performance computing environments with respect to optimizing energy consumption and reducing power consumption.
Charles previously worked at other Department of Energy National Laboratories, including Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Charles has worked in both industry and academia with Visiting Lecture positions at Colorado State University Global, Kennesaw State University, and the Georgia Institute of Technology (GaTech).
Charles has also co-founded two start-ups, raising more than $4 million in venture-capital funding through top start-up accelerators and incubators, including TechStarts '22, Quake Capital, The Farm/BoomTown/Comcast. Additionally, Charles has mentored/advised/guided over 20 start-ups in various technological spaces, including mentoring entrepreneurs in the GaTech Create-X startup incubator program.
