# Omar Ghattas
**Domain:** Austin Research / People
**Doc Type:** Research entity
**Source basis:** Supplied research cluster with linked references; see the [[wiki/Austin Research Evidence Map|evidence map]] for verification scope.
**Omar Ghattas** is an Oden computational scientist appearing in the [[wiki/PECOS|PECOS]] lineage and the institute’s relationship with large-scale computing. The succession article identifies his leadership-science roles with Frontera and [[wiki/Horizon|Horizon]].
His place in this cluster connects [[wiki/Inverse Problem|inverse problems]], large numerical models, and the machines needed to execute them. The relationship illustrates how algorithm design and computing infrastructure develop together: more ambitious inference requires scalable methods, while greater compute enables more complex models and repeated uncertainty analysis.
