 I completed my PhD in Information Systems and Computing from Brunel University in June 2007. While studying for my PhD, I worked in the School of Information Systems, Computing and Mathematics as a RAE Assistant to Prof. Ray Paul. I hold a MSc "with Distinction" in Distributed Systems from Brunel, a BA degree from Calcutta University and a Post Graduate Certificate in Applied Computer Science from CMC Ltd - Education & Training. I come from Calcutta (now "Kolkata"), the capital of the state of West Bengal, in India. Click here for my Swansea University Website Summary of my research interests: I have a background (MSc and PhD) in distributed systems and have applied High Throughput Computing (HTC) technologies like Desktop Grid Computing to execute large and complex simulations in healthcare, banking and the auto industry. Some of this work has involved interoperability and the reuse of simulation models through Parallel and Distributed Simulation (PADS) principles, standards (IEEE 1516 HLA) and software (Run-Time Infrastructure). Prior to joining Swansea University, I worked as a research fellow in an EU-funded project on e-Science and e-Infrastructures; and this further extended my interest in distributed systems to include, High Performance Computing (HPC), Grid computing and Cloud computing. Modelling & Simulation is another research interest. I have used techniques like Spreadsheet Simulation, Discrete-Event Simulation and Agent-Based Simulation and have applied them in the context of simulation pedagogy (teaching supply chains), healthcare operations management and the spread of contaminants respectively. Some of the healthcare research involves stakeholders from the NHS. Multi-Methodology Simulation is a growing research interest of mine. Finally, my work in Information Systems presently focuses on Bibliometric and Meta-Data Analysis (including co-citation analysis) of IS research. Future work includes the investigation of simulation techniques for Technology Adoption and Diffusion research. I have close to fifty publications in peer-reviewed journals and conferences, and have authored several book chapters and reports. My publications broadly cover the following areas:
