Bartosz is an expert software engineer with extensive experience in distributed data
processing systems. Whilst working on his Master’s thesis in Medical Physics he got
interested in parallel programming and after finishing his degree arrived in Edinburgh
to study High Performance Computing. After obtaining an MSc in HPC in 2005 he joined
the EPCC where he has worked since as an Applications Consultant.
His recent work includes integrating distributed medical data, streamed processing of
astronomical observations and development of external memory algorithms for analysis of
large post-genomic data. He is most proud of his work on distributed query processing
in the OGSA-DAI project. Although most of his projects are focused on distributed
systems, he does not shy away from pure HPC activities. He has worked with several
scientific codes on the largest UK supercomputers. He is also keen to share his
experience. He has supervised MSc students, summer interns and mentored Google Summer
of Code projects. In his career he has worked as a software engineer, a technical
reviewer, a researcher and a project leader.
In his spare time he makes things and tries to stay in touch with recent developments
in contemporary performing arts.
