Personal profile
Biography
A/Prof Calheiros is a Fellow of the Advance HE (former Higher Education Academy) (FHEA). A/Prof Calheiros received the IEEE TCSC 2017 Award for Excellence (Middle Career Researcher) and has been recognized as an IEEE Computer Society 2021 Distinguished Contributor.
Before joining WSU, A/Prof Calheiros was a Research Fellow in the Department of Computing and Information Systems at the University of Melbourne. A/Prof Calheiros is better known for being the lead designer and developer of CloudSim, a tool that enables model and simulation of cloud infrastructures and enables repeatable and controllable research of new policies for management of cloud computing platforms without requiring the deployment of large (and expensive) infrastructures. The software has been used by many Universities and Organizations around the world.
A/Prof Calheiros' research focuses on systems aspects and resource management in the context of edge computing, Internet of Things, and cloud computing. Other topics he worked on in the past include scientific workflows and simulation, and emulation of distributed systems.
