Ante Prodan

Dr. Ante Prodan serves as Senior Lecturer in Computational Epidemiology within the School of Computing & ICT at Western Sydney University, where he is also affiliated with the Translational Health Research Institute (THRI). His academic network extends to the University of Sydney's Brain and Mind Centre as Research Associate and Monash University's Psychiatry department as Adjunct Senior Lecturer. Additionally, he directs the charity Computer Simulation & Advanced Research Technologies, which builds global capacity in simulation technologies for health policy decisions.

Dr. Prodan holds a PhD from the University of Technology, Sydney, establishing his foundation in computational methodologies. His research integrates dynamic data-driven simulation with public health applications, developing decision support systems through:

• Agent-based and discrete event modeling
• Metaprogramming techniques for complex systems
• AnyLogic multimethod simulation frameworks
• Statistical computing with R environment

His work specifically targets persistent health challenges through computational epidemiology and healthcare simulation modeling. Dr. Prodan actively contributes to online education while leading global capacity-building initiatives through his charity directorship, focusing on translating advanced research technologies into practical policy tools for health and social systems worldwide.
