Abhishek Yenpure is a senior R&D engineer who works remotely on Kitware’s Scientific Computing Team. He helps design and develop scalable data analysis and visualization tools, as well as end-user tools for data analysis and visualization.

Prior to joining Kitware, Abhishek was a senior software engineer at eQ Technologic in India. He was responsible for developing ETL tools for various enterprise software, including Siemens Teamcenter and PTC Windchill.

Abhishek also worked as a research intern at several laboratories. During his time at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), Abhishek helped identify existing performance bottlenecks and added parallel processing capabilities for particle advection in VAPOR. He also investigated advanced flow visualization algorithms for domain scientists: FTLE, Q-Criterion. He also spent time at Sandia National Laboratories, where he implemented high-performance, data-parallel, performance portable solutions to scientific visualization problems. Abhishek also interned at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. During his time there he focused on the implementation of advanced functionality to the particle advection module of the VTK-m library and tested various approaches of generating particle trajectories on a large scale for a performance study.

Abhishek is currently working towards his Ph.D. in computer and information science at the University of Oregon, which is where he received his master’s degree in the same field of study in 2018. He received his Bachelor of Engineering in Information Technology from the University of Pune in 2013.
