Adam Szady

  • Software Engineer
Adam Szady

Adam joined BEIT during the fourth year of his studies. Always keen on learning, willing to dive deep into quantum computing, questioning more traditional approach to problem solving, added creativity to our team. He has already managed to work for Sabre as software engineer, got to Google Distributed Code Jam finals and spend 3 months as Google intern in Munich.

Marcin Briański

  • Mathematician
Marcin Briański

Marcin has joined BEIT in the summer of 2018, initially just for the summer internship but decided to continue working with us. He is currently enrolled in a PhD programme in Theoretical Computer Science at the Jagiellonian University. His tasks at BEIT range from implementing our algorithms to proving they can't work (any better). His interests focus around combinatorics, in particular structural graph theory and optimisation.
