RESEARCH In March 2006 I joined Intel's Programing Systems Lab where I currently hold a position of Senior Research Scientist. My work is in the area of programming language design and implementation, with specific interests in concurrency control, compiler and run-time system optimizations, transactional processing as well as  architectural support for programming languages and applications.

PERSONAL I like sailing and, even though it has been a while since I did it regularly, I am actively trying to go back to it. I have recently joined the Polish Yacht Club of San Francisco, so my chances for it got a bit better. In winter I ski, mostly in North Lake Tahoe where my ski club (Peninsula Ski Club) has its nice little lodge. In my spare time I do rock-climbing and also try my luck doing some Tae-Kwon-Do training at Silva Tae Kwon Do. You can find some more personal information, updates on (more or less) recent activities and even some pictures here.
