Chris is currently developing a course in parallel programming on heterogeneous computers; 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, disruptive technology into their day-to-day operations.

<p>Chris is actively pursuing initiatives that will establish a center of applied research in the field of parallel programming at ICT. ICT students with acquired parallel programming skills will have an opportunity to apply and refine their skill set by working as research assistants on real-world mainstream projects. Apart from his own particular research interest (modelling of granular materialssee below), Chris is open to collaborating 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 the field of high performance computing.
