Marcin Copik

I’m a PhD student at the Scalable Parallel Computing Laboratory at the Department of Computer Science at ETH Zürich, advised by Prof. Torsten Hoefler. My main research goal is to develop high-performance solutions for the new cloud paradigm of Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) computing. The serverless revolution brings new elastic and flexible resource allocation techniques, and combined with a high-performance programming model, it will open new opportunities to increase resource utilization and decrease monetary and environmental costs in data centers of all sizes.

I obtained my Master’s degree in Simulation Sciences from the RWTH Aachen (Germany) where I worked on my Master thesis in the HPAC Group, supervised by Prof. Paolo Bientinesi and Prof. Benjamin Berkels. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from the Silesian University of Technology in Poland, where I had the opportunity to work at the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Informatics, Polish Academy of Sciences with Prof. Tadeusz Czachórski, Dr Artur Rataj, and Dr Mateusz Nowak.
