I received M.Sc. degree in Computer Science from Czestochowa University of Technology (Poland) and Ph.D degree from Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble (France) in 2001 and 2005, respectively. In 2006 I joined Iowa State University, the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, where I work to date. My research activities are focused on applications of high performance computing in bioinformatics and computational biology with special emphasis on systems biology, metagenomics, multiple sequence alignment and phylogenetic inference. In my work I combine efficient algorithmic solutions with high quality software implementations to provide scalable frameworks, that can be run on modern parallel architectures, including MPPs and multi/many cores. I am a founding co-chair of Workshop on Parallel Computational Biology (PBC), a biennial event devoted to the latest research in high performance computational biology, accompanying the PPAM conference. I am a member of the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and IEEE Computer Society, the Association for the Computing Machinery (ACM), as well as the International Society for Computational Biology.
