Computational Modelling with Single Prompts

Maciej Matyka, born in 1980 in Wrocław, is a computer physicist and programmer. He is a graduate of computer physics at the Faculty of Physics and Astronomy, University of Wrocław, where he is currently a research and teaching fellow at the Institute of Theoretical Physics. His professional interests include fluid flow through porous media and computer simulation methods. He independently programs algorithms he has developed and is a practitioner. He enjoys projects and working with students. He is also interested in programming and new technologies in computer science – parallel computing and machine learning. He has always had a passion for graphics and animation based on physical modelling, which he uses on computer demoscene. He is the author of numerous scientific publications in computational physics and fluid dynamics, two stand-alone books (including a book on computer simulations), and several chapters in books published in Poland and abroad.
