Biography
Assoc Prof Stephen John Turner joined Nanyang Technological University (Singapore) in 1999 and is Director of the Parallel and Distributed Computing Centre in the School of Computer Engineering. Previously, he was a Senior Lecturer in Computer Science at Exeter University (UK). He received his MA in Mathematics and Computer Science from Cambridge University (UK) and his MSc and PhD in Computer Science from Manchester University (UK). His current research interests include parallel and distributed simulation, distributed virtual environments, high performance computing, grid computing, and multi-agent systems. He is steering committee chair of the ACM/IEEE/SCS Principles of Advanced and Distributed Simulation (PADS) conference and advisory committee member of the IEEE Distributed Simulation and Real Time Applications (DS-RT) symposium. He is an area editor for ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer Simulation (TOMACS) and a member of the editorial board of the UK OR Society Journal of Simulation. He has published over 200 refereed papers in high quality journals and international conferences.
