Research:
My current research interests include the application of simulation in healthcare, bibliometric and meta-data analysis of research domains, and interdisciplinary research in applied Computer Science, Information Systems and Simulation domains. My extended research interests include desktop grid computing, e-Science and e-Infrastructures, Parallel and Distributed Simulation (PADS), and technology adoption and diffusion. I have experience in setting-up distributed computing infrastructures for conducting research, for example, I have been instrumental in setting-up a Condor Pool comprising of 150+ processors in the School of Information Systems, Computing and Mathematics, Brunel University.
