'''Chris Szalwinski''' is a Professor at the [https://scs.senecac.on.ca/ School of Information and Communications Technology] (ICT) of Seneca Collegeand an independent scientific researcher.He teaches C, C++ and Parallel Programming. He has taught Game Programming (DirectX) and Human Computer Interaction and 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.

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 C, C++, DirectX Game Programming, 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 Human Computer Interactionclients in solving embarrassingly data-parallel programming problems.

Before joining Seneca College, 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 wellincorporated cutting-positioned to assist employers edge software within engineering firms and clients in incorporating this new, disruptive government departments and introduced cutting-edge technology into their day-tograduate programs at several top-day operationstier academic institutions.

<p>Chris is actively pursuing initiatives that will establish maintains a center of applied research personal interest, outside his Seneca College duties, in the field of parallel programming at ICT. ICT students with acquired parallel programming skills will have an opportunity to apply developing and refine their skill set by working as research assistants on real-world projectsmodelling constitutive relations for soft granular matter. Apart from his own particular research interest (modelling of granular materials)He finds this a fascinating, Chris is open to collaborating with academiaemerging field, business, and industry on research projects that will advance the state of this technology and better prepare ICT students which he believes presents numerous opportunities for the challenges and opportunities arising from the democratization of the field of high performance computinginnovative programming.
