Hi, it’s nice to meet you :)

My name is Anis Ur Rahman and I’m a PostDoc researcher at the Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences, University of Jyvaskyla. I’m working in close collaboration with high-performance computing experts at CSC (Finnish IT Center for Science) to develop pipelines for modelling and processing of massive biodiversity data with LUMI, Europe’s fastest petascale supercomputer.

A little bit about me: I did my Masters in Informatics with specialization in Parallel and Distributed Systems at the Universite Grenoble Alpes and my PhD in Computer Science at Universite Grenoble Alpes. My doctoral dissertation explores computational modeling of visual attention, focusing on mechanisms involving various cues: static, dynamic, face, and color. Moreover, I evaluate eye movement predictions against eye-tracking data, study the impact of faces in videos, and propose real-time implementation using parallel architectures to enhance application quality and user experience.

Previously, I was as an Associate Professor at the Department of Computing, NUST-SEECS (Pakistan). In 2019, I worked at the Department of Information Systems (FSKTM University of Malaya) as a Research Fellow for one year. During the fellowship, I worked in engineering a comprehensive simulation framework to model and analyze large-scale smart farming ecosystems. Moreover, I explored strategies for optimizing sustainable resource utilization within fog federations for smart cities.
