Microsoft Research PhD Fellowship for Marcin Copik

Doctoral student Marcin Copik from the Department of Computer Science was granted the prestigious Microsoft Research PhD Fellowship. The program recognises the value of diversity in computing and aims to increase the pipeline of talent receiving advanced degrees in computing-related fields to build a stronger and inclusive computing-related research community. Over the last two decades, the Microsoft Research PhD Fellowship program has supported over 700 fellows around the world.

Marcin holds a Master in Simulation Sciences from RWTH Aachen and a Bachelor in Computer Science from the Silesian University of Technology in Poland. During his studies he interned at the Louisiana State University, USA, working on heterogeneous programming in HPX, as well as at Microsoft Research in Redmond, USA, where he worked on serverless computing. His main research goal is to develop high-performance solutions for the new cloud paradigm of serverless Function-as-a-Service computing.
