BIOGRAPHY
Irfan Awan received his BSc from Gomal University, Pakistan (1986), MSc
(Computer Science) from Qauid-e-Azam University, Pakistan (1990). He served for
three years as a lecturer in the Computer Science Department, BZ University
Pakistan and then joined Performance Modelling and Engineering Research Group,
University of Bradford in 1993. He received his PhD from the Department of
Computing, Bradford University, UK (1997). During his PhD studies, he developed
cost effective approximate analytical tools for the performance evaluation of
complex queueing networks. His research mainly focused on service and space
priorities in order to provide quality of service and to control the congestion
in high speed networks.
After completing his PhD he joined GIK Institute of Engineering Sciences and
Technology, Pakistan as an assistant professor and has been teaching various
subjects related to network communications for two years. In 1998 and 1999, he
spent summer terms with the Performance Modelling Group, University of Bradford.
In 1999 he joined the Department of Computing, University of Bradford as a
Lecturer and is a module coordinator for "Concurrent and Distributed Systems"
and "Intelligent Network Agents". His recent research lies in developing
analytical tools for the performance of mobile and high speed networks. He has
been a member of organising committees for several IFIP workshops held in
Ilkely, Bradford. He is also a member of Programme committees for several
international conferences and reviewer of several international journals. He has
completed PGCHEP from the University of Bradford in 2002 and is a fellow of HEA.
He is also member of BCS, IEEE and UK Simulation Society.
