Chris Szalwinski is a Professor at the School of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) of Seneca College and a scientific researcher in his own right.
Chris teaches C, C++, DirectX, and CUDA Programming and Human Computer Interaction at ICT.
This Fall, Chris has introduced an ICT course in parallel programming on heterogeneous computers using Nvidia's CUDA technology; that is, how to convert your desktop into your very own supercomputer. This course will teach ICT students to harness the processing power available on today's desktops for tasks that benefit from high performance computing. Students who finish this course should find themselves well-positioned to assist employers and clients in incorporating this new technology into their day-to-day operations.

Chris is seeking applied research initiatives in the field of parallel programming at ICT to provide ICT students who have some parallel programming skills with opportunities to apply and refine their skill set by working as research assistants on applications that benefit from heterogeneous design. Chris is seeking collaborations with academia, business, and industry on research projects that will advance the state of this technology and better prepare ICT students for the challenges and opportunities arising from the democratization of this aspect of high performance computing. Chris maintains a personal interest, outside his Seneca College duties, in developing and modelling constitutive relations for soft granular matter. He firmly believes that this is an emerging field which will present numerous opportunities for innovative programming in the near future. |

Before joining Seneca College, Chris successfully incorporated cutting-edge software technology within both private sector firms and university graduate programs.
