Jon Summers

Dr. Jon Summers is Scientific Lead in Data Centres at Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE), an Adjunct Professor in Fluid Mechanics at Lulea Technical University in Sweden, a Visiting Professor in Thermofluids at the University of Leeds and chair of the Future Technologies Symposium of the Open Compute Project. During the last 25 years, he has worked on many government and industry funded projects requiring the use of computation. Having built and managed compute clusters to support many research projects, Jon chaired the High-Performance Computing User Group for 20 years at the University of Leeds. In the last eight years Jon’s research at RISE has focused on a range of thermal and energy management projects within the data centre sector, including liquid cooled IT approaches and heat recovery where the focus has been both at the data centre and the microprocessor scales, which has been further transformed by opportunities of integrated digital infrastructure research at the RISE ICE test and demo datacenter facility.
