Thomas "Tom" P. Devereaux is a professor of photonics and material sciences, and director of the Stanford Institute for Materials and Energy Sciences, Stanford University.
Education and career
Tom Devereaux obtained B.S. in mathematics and physics from New York University in 1986 and then got his M.S. and Ph.D. from the University of Oregon in 1988 and 1991 respectively. From 1991 to 1993 he was a postdoctoral fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart, Germany and from 1993 to 1996 held the same position at the University of California, Davis. Following his postdoctoral fellowships, Devereux became an assistant professor at the George Washington University, a position which he kept from 1996 to 1999 and was subsequently promoted to an associate professor at which position he served until 2006. In 2006, he moved to Ontario, Canada where he joined the University of Waterloo faculty and became a professor for one year there. Professor Devereaux is specializing in theoretical and computational physics as well as analytical theory and numerical simulations.[1] In 2009 he worked with Todd Martinez and used CUDA compiler with which they performed benchmark testing on GPUs in existing systems.[2] In 2012, Tom Devereaux was appointed as director of the Stanford Institute for Materials and Energy Sciences, a department of the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory which is controlled by Stanford University.[3]
