'''Chris Szalwinski''' is a Professor at the [https://csscs.senecac.on.ca/ School of Computer Studies at Information and Communications Technology] (ICT) of Seneca College]and an independent scientific researcher. Chris He teaches C, C++, and Parallel Programming. He has taught Game Programming (DirectX) and Human Computer Interactionand has published comprehensive web sites that contain his course materials. He currently leads the programming faculty and is updating its course material for the C and C++, diploma and degree subjects. He does research on soft matter mechanics in his spare time.</p><table><tr><td><p>In fall 2012, Chris introduced an ICT course in parallel programming on heterogeneous computers using Nvidia's CUDA technology; that is, a course on how to use your desktop as your very own supercomputer. He teaches ICT students to harness the processing power available on today's desktop graphics cards for computing tasks that benefit from high performance hardware. Students who finish this course should find themselves well-positioned to assist employers and clients in solving embarrassingly data-parallel programming problems.</p><p>This winter (2014), Chris taught an intermediate successor course in parallel computing. This new course covered a variety of parallel algorithms and platforms.</p><p>Chris is interested in supervising applied research initiatives in task-parallel and data-parallel programming that provide students who have completed his courses with opportunities to apply and refine their skill set on heterogeneous applications. He is interested in joint collaboration with academia, business, and industry on research projects that will advance the state of this technology and better prepare his students for the challenges and opportunities that are arising in the field of accelerated computing. </p></td><td>[[Image:NV_CUDA_Teaching_Center_Small.jpg]]</td></tr></table><p>Before joining Seneca College, Chris incorporated cutting-edge software within engineering firms and government departments and introduced cutting-edge technology into graduate programs at several top-tier academic institutions.</p><p>Chris maintains a personal interest, outside his Seneca College duties, in developing and modelling constitutive relations for soft granular matter. He finds this a fascinating, emerging field, which he believes presents numerous opportunities for innovative programming.
