Tomasz Haupt graduated from Jagiellonian University in Krakow (Poland) and obtained his Ph.D.
in Physics. For 10 years he was involved in data analysis coming from numerous High Energy
(elementary particles) experiments at CERN and CESR (Cornell). From 1990 he has been at
Syracuse University, where experience working with Geoffrey Fox resulted in changing his
profile from an experimental and computational physicist to a computer scientist.

Initially, in this new area, Tomasz's research was concentrated on developing parallel
programming methodology. He participated in development of the Fortran 90d compiler - the
first data-parallel flavor of Fortran targeted to distributed memory systems that soon became
the first, pilot implementation of HPF compiler. Later, the technology developed by the
Fortran 90d group was licensed to PGI, Inc. In addition to developing the language (Tomasz
participated in HPF forum), and developing the compiler including its runtime support,
Tomasz's was involved in numerous activities to transfer the new technologies to application
developers. This includes his participation in the Grand Challenge Binary Black Hole project.

Currently, Tomasz's research activity concentrate on employing the Web based technologies to
high performance distributed computing, with a recent shift towards developing systems that
provide seamless access to remote resources. He is co-author of the WebFlow system (with
Wojtek Furmanski) that implements High Performance Commodity Computing (HPcc) paradigm
introduced by Geoffrey Fox. WebFlow is being applied by Tomasz to many different classes of
applications. These include development of nanomaterials (within NCSA Alliance), where
WebFlow provides a high level visual user interface Globus following the data-flow
computational model, Landscape Management System (developed for CEWES MSRC) that implements
"navigate and choose" paradigm to provide seamless access to remote data and computational
resources to solve the problem at hand, and the Gateway system (under development for ASC
MSRC) to integrate application domain specific Problem Solving Environments (PSE) with a
seamless and secure remote access to resources available at MSRC.
