Svetlin Manavski Computer Science Engineer
 
 
 
Welcome to Svetlin Manavski's personal web site
Svetlin Manavski has MSc from the University of Padua, Italy (in Italian: Laurea in Ingegneria Informatica). He is a member of IEEE since 1997. He is a Software Engineer with broad experience in High Performance Computing and network programming, particularly related to secure data transfer over unreliable networks. Since the beginning of his career he led the development of a number of mission critical solutions, like Italian Antimafia Certification, the communications layer of the Italian national power provisioning system, inter-banking data exchange projects and international supply chain solutions.
He has pioneered GPGPU solutions in the fields of cryptography and bioinformatics which are still references in their fields. He currently works on HPC projects in the networking field.
