معرفی
Michael Stiber is a Professor and Division Chair in the Computing & Software Systems Division at the University of Washington Bothell (UWB), affiliated with the School of Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics. He is also the Director of Cybersecurity Initiatives and Principal Investigator at the Intelligent Networks Laboratory (formerly BrainGrid Laboratory).
- Education: Ph.D. in Computer Science from UCLA (1989), M.S. in Computer Science from UCLA, B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Washington University in St. Louis
His research focuses on complex networks, high-performance simulation, and data management, applied to computational neuroscience, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and nonlinear dynamics. He leads projects modeling emergency services communications systems (e.g., 911 networks) and biological neural network development using the Graphitti simulation framework.
He has supervised numerous graduate students, including Jardi Martinez Jordan, Divya Kamath, Ashwini Rudrawar, Snigdha Singh, Emily Hsu, Smriti Singh, Victoria Salvatore, Joe Conquest, Tori Salvatore, and Tony Varela, who have defended theses or projects related to graph-based simulation, GPU migration, neural networks, and AI-driven data analysis.
- Scientific awards: Fulbright Scholar (Czech Academy of Sciences)
- Grants: US National Security Agency (2-year funding), InterPARES Trust AI (international cybersecurity-AI collaboration)
The Intelligent Networks Laboratory, under his leadership, rebranded from BrainGrid, expanded its scope to AI-driven data analysis, and developed tools like Graphitti (for simulating network-structured systems) and Workbench (for tracking simulation code and data provenance).
