Kishwar Ahmed

Assistant Professor, EECS, University of Toledo

I am Kishwar Ahmed, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electircal Engineering and Computer Science at The University of Toledo. My research interests include high performance computing (HPC) and cyber-physical systems. I am interested in efficient and sustainable modeling and simulation of large-scale computing systems.

I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Florida International University, under the supervision of Prof. Jason Liu. I also worked as a research aide at Argonne National Laboratory. I received my B.Sc. degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology. I received the NSF CRII award.
