X-Machines for Agent-Based Modeling: Flame Perspectives Tapa dura - 2017

Dr. Mariam Kiran is a well-recognized researcher in agent-based modeling, high performance simulations and cloud computing. She has published numerous papers in these fields, both, in theory and practical implementations, exploiting grid and cloud ecosystems for improving computational performance for multi-domain research. She has an extensive record of research collaborations across the world, serving as a board member for Complex Systems research in CoMSES, and several joint projects funded by European Research and UK Engineering Council. She is also active in education research of software engineering in team building and writing software for simulations.

Mariam Kiran received her PhD in Computer Science from University of Sheffield, Sheffield UK in 2010. She is currently involved in many projects at Lawrence Berkeley National Labs, California, optimizing high performance computing problems across various disciplines. Prior to this, she was working as an Associate Professor at University of Bradford, leading the Cloud Computing research in the School.
