In 1988, I earned a Geophysics degree from the National University of La Plata, Argentina, and moved to Canada in 1993 for graduate studies. I completed my Ph.D. in Geophysics at the University of British Columbia in 1996, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship. I then joined the University of Alberta as a faculty member in the Physics Department, becoming a tenured professor in 2001 and a full professor in 2007. I served as Chair of Physics from 2010 to 2015 and was re-appointed in 2016, concluding my second term in June 2021. At Alberta, I established an applied research Geophysics group and supervised around 60 graduate students.

This package offers efficient storage of large array snapshots during simulations, using ZFP compression for in-memory or out-of-core (file-based) storage. Both compress 2D to 4D arrays for intermediate steps in iterative process, which can be used for gradient calculation, plotting, and other applications. The Innn-memory compresses arrays into byte vectors, while the out-of-core storage compresses and writes array slices to files per thread, showing great performance in heavy simulations.
