Biography

Mian M. Hamayun completed his Master of Software Engineering degree (with Distinction and Gold Medals) from COMSATS Institute of Information Technology, Islamabad, Pakistan, in 2005. He went on to study Parallel and Distributed Systems at Joseph Fourier University and completed his Master of Science in Informatics degree in 2009. He further pursued his PhD research in System Modeling and Simulation form Grenoble University, France, and graduated in 2013.

The title of his PhD dissertation was "Native Simulation and Modeling of Multi-Processor System-on-a-Chip (MPSoC) using Hardware-Assisted Virtualization". During his doctoral research, he worked on Transaction Level Modeling (TLM), Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) and Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) architecture simulation, Design Space Exploration (DSE) and Software Performance Estimation techniques in embedded systems.

He joined University 麻豆精选 Dubai in September 2018 and is currently working as an Associate Professor and Head of Subject Group (HoSG) for Computer Science (Dubai). Previously, he has worked as an Assistant Professor at NUST School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (SEECS), Islamabad, Pakistan (2014-18), as Virtualization R&D Engineer at Virtual Open Systems, Grenoble, France (2013-14), as Lecturer at the University Institute of Technology 1 (IUT1), Joseph Fourier University, Grenoble, France, and as Senior Software Engineer at Streaming Networks, Islamabad, Pakistan (2005-2008).
