Gabriel Wainer (FSCS, SMIEEE) was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He received the M.C.S. (1993) and Ph.D. degrees (1998, with highest honors) in Computer Science from the Universidad de Buenos Aires and IUSPIM (now Polytech de Marseille), Université Aix Marseille, (France).
In July
2000, he joined the Department of Systems and Computer Engineering,
Carleton University
(Ottawa, ON, Canada), where he is now a Full Professor. Previously he was Assistant Professor
in the Computer Science Department at the
Universidad de Buenos Aires, and he was a visiting scholar or invited Professor in different Universities, including the Arizona Center of Integrated Modelling
and Simulation (ACIMS, University of Arizona), Laboratory of Systems Sciences of Marseille
(LSIS-CNRS), University of Nice, Université Paul Cézanne (Marseille), IMS (Bordeaux, France), INRIA Sophia-Antipolis (France), Computer Science Department (UBA, Argentina), Applied Mathematics Institute (UBA, Argentina), National University of Rosario (Argentina) Universidad Complutense de Madrid and Universidad Politécnica de Catalonia (Spain). The
Prof. Wainer was Vice-President Conferences was Vice-President Publications, and a member of the Board of Directors of the The Society for Computer Simulation International (SCS) (1998-2000: International Section; 2004-2006: M&S Methodologies Council; Member-at-large 2011-17). He is a Certified Professional on Modeling and Simulation, and one of the Charter Members of the MSPCC (Modelling and Simulation Professional Certification Commision).
He is Special Issues Editor of the Transactions of the Society for Computer Simulation International (SCS), member of the Editorial Board of IEEE Computing in Science and Engineering, Wireless Networks (Elsevier), Journal of Defense Modeling and Simulation (SAGE), and the International Journal of Simulation and Process Modelling (Inderscience).
Prof. Wainer's is author of a book on Real-Time systems, three o$Fther on Discrete-Event Simulation and over 400 articles in different venues. He has collaborated in the organization of over 200 conferences in modeling and simulation (being a co-founder of the Symposium of Theory of Modeling and Simulation - TMS/DEVS, SIMUTools and SimAUD). His research interests are focused in the areas of Discrete Event Modelling and Simulation, parallel and distributed simulation, and Real-Time systems (with special focus in operating systems and scheduling).
He is the head of the Advanced Real-Time Simulation lab, located at Carleton University's Centre for advanced Simulation and Visualization (V-Sim). He is a member of the Real-Time and Distributed Systems lab at Carleton University.
He has received funding from numerous sources, both public and private. Up to date he has received over 3.75M$ as Principal Investigator, and over 1.2M$ as co-applicant of numerous grants totaling over 30M$. He has supervised 9 Postdoctoral fellows, 18 PhD students, 10 Research Assistants, 68 Masters and over 130 4th year Engineering students since 1997. He currently supervises 5 Postdoctoral fellows, 6 PhD students, and 6 Masters students.
He has been the recipient of various awards, including the IBM Eclipse Innovation Award, a Leadership award by the Society for Modeling and Simulation International, various Best Paper awards. He has been awarded Carleton University's Research
Achievement Award twice (2005 and 2014), Carleton University’s Mentorship Award (2013), the First Bernard P. Zeigler DEVS Modeling and Simulation Award (2010), the SCS Outstanding Professional Award (2011, the SCS Distinguished Service Award (2015) and Outstanding Service Award (2020).
He received the Nepean's Canada 150 Anniversary Medal (2017). He has been elected as Outstanding Engineer by the IEEE Ottawa Chapter (2019).
He is a Fellow of SCS (2016).
