Author Information

Navonil Mustafee is Senior Lecturer in Operations and Supply Chain Management at the University of Exeter Business School. He has published several peer-reviewed articles on healthcare modelling and simulation and has worked with the NHS in Wales and England on a number of capacity management studies which have used Operations Research techniques. Currently, he is engaged in collaborative studies with the Horizon Institute at Torbay Hospital. More widely, his research interests include simulation methodology (e.g. hybrid simulation, mix of soft-hard OR), parallel and distributed simulation, and bibliometric analysis of research domains. He has authored close to 100 peer-reviewed papers in journals, conferences and chapters in books, and has co-edited one conference proceedings (UKORS OR55 conference). He is Associate Editor for Simulation (the transactions of the Society for Modeling & Simulation International) and the Journal of Simulation (a publication of the UK OR society), and serves on the editorial board of several other journals. He has served as the program co-chair for the UK OR Society's 2013 annual conference (OR55) and program chair for the Spring Simulation Multi-conference 2014 (SpringSim14). He is conference vice-general chair for SpringSim15 and co-program chair for the 2015 ACM SIGSIM Conference on Principles of Advanced Discrete Simulation (PADS).
