'''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 software developer 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 teaches Cfinish this course should find themselves well-positioned to assist employers and clients in solving embarrassingly data-parallel programming problems.</p><p>This winter (2014), C++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, DirectX Game Programmingbusiness, and Human Computer Interactionindustry 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.

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 government departments and introduced cutting-edge technology into their day-tograduate programs at several top-day operations.</p><p>Chris is actively seeking initiatives that will establish a center of applied research in the field of parallel programming at ICT. The center will 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. Alongside his own particular research interest (see below), 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 computingtier academic institutions.

Chris has successfully incorporated cutting-edge software technology within both private sector firms maintains a personal interest, outside his Seneca College duties, in developing and university graduate programsmodelling constitutive relations for soft granular matter. He finds this a fascinating, emerging field, which he believes presents numerous opportunities for innovative programming.
