Dr. Elster is an Associate Professor of Computer Science (IDI) at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, Norway, where she founded of the IDI/NTNU HPC-Lab. Her research focus is Heterogeneous and Parallel Computing, including GPU computing. She served on an Expert Panel on research infrastructure for the Danish Research and Innovation Ministry and is currently one of four Working Group leaders of EU COST Action IC0805: Open European Network for High Performance Computing on Complex Environments.
Dr. Elster holds M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Cornell University where she had a lot of fun at their supercomputer center (a.k.a. Theory Center ) exploring various HPC systems in the late 1980s and early 1990s. After graduating from Cornell, she worked for Schlumberger in Austin before returning to acadmia via the Univ. of Texas at Austin in 1997. She served on the MPI standards committees (MPI and MPI-2) for Cornell and Schlumberger, respectively, and became a Senior Member of the IEEE in 2000.
