Education and career

Wainer graduated in 1993 as a Licenciado in Computer Science from the University of Buenos Aires. He completed his Ph.D. in software engineering in 1998 at Aix-Marseille University/University of Buenos Aires.^[1] In July 2000, he joined the Department of Systems and Computer Engineering at Carleton University (Ottawa, Canada). He held research positions at the University of Arizona, LSIS (CNRS), University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis, INRIA Sophia-Antipolis, University of Bordeaux, University of Buenos Aires, and others.

Wainer co-founded several modeling and simulation conferences: SIMUTools,^[2][3] ANNSIM (SCS/IEEE/ACM),^[4] the Symposium on Theory of Modeling and Simulation (SCS/ACM/IEEE), and Symposium on Simulation in Architecture and Urban Design - SimAUD (SCS/ACM/IEEE).^[5] He was Vice-President Conferences and Vice-President Publications of SCS for the Society for Modeling and Simulation International from 2010 to 2016.^[6][7]

He is editor in chief of Simulation^[8] and a Distinguished Speaker of ACM (Association for Computing Machinery).^[9]
