Preskoči na sadržaj Dr. Vedran Miletić, principal investigator "Ideas are organic entities," someone has said. The very fact of their birth endows them with form, and that form is action. He in whose brain the most ideas are born accomplishes the most. From that cause a genius, chained to an official desk, must die or go mad, just as it often happens that a man of powerful constitution, and at the same time of sedentary life and simple habits, dies of an apoplectic stroke. Passions are naught but ideas in their first development; they are an attribute of the youth of the heart, and foolish is he who thinks that he will be agitated by them all his life. Many quiet rivers begin their course as noisy waterfalls, and there is not a single stream which will leap or foam throughout its way to the sea. That quietness, however, is frequently the sign of great, though latent, strength. The fulness and depth of feelings and thoughts do not admit of frenzied outbursts. - A Hero of Our Time by Mikhail Iurevich Lermontov Dr. Vedran Miletić is the principal investigator of the Group for Applications and Services on Exascale Research Infrastructure (GASERI) and an assistant professor of computer science at Faculty of Informatics and Digital Technology , University of Rijeka . More information is available in his curriculum vitae . Research Present research The focus of my research work is heterogeneous, parallel, and distributed computing on high performance computers and in the cloud for computational chemistry applications. Presently, I am collaborating with Martina Ašenbrener Katić on research of distributed chemical compound database architectures that meet the scalability and reliability requirements of high-throughput virtual screening campaigns. Past research I was a postdoctoral researcher in professor Frauke Gräter 's Molecular Biomechanics (MBM) group at Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies (HITS) . I was researching efficient ways to simulate breaking and formation of disulfide bonds in proteins as well as participating in development of free and open source software we used. Our developments can be found on GitHub . I was also a postdoctoral researcher under the supervision of professor Mario Radovan at University of Rijeka Department of Informatics . I collaborated with assistant professor Željko Svedružić 's Biomolecular Structure and Function (BioSF) Group at Department of Biotechnology . I was studying molecular modelling of biomolecules . I was concentrated on investigating reaction dynamics of protein-ligand interactions with molecular dynamics and nudged elastic band methods using quantum chemistry and QM/MM approaches. I have done my PhD work under the supervision of professor Branko Mikac (retd.) at University of Zagreb Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing (FER) Department of Telecommunications . My PhD research work has been focused on evaluation of optical telecommunication network reliability and availability using Monte Carlo method and optimization of routing and wavelength assignment . Additionally, I was focused on parallel execution of network simulation software. Development I am leading the development of RxDock , a fork of rDock protein-ligand docking software developed at RxTx Research (in collaboration with Patrik Nikolić ). (Feel free to contact me if you want to contribute to the project in any way.) I am developing extensions and modifications of GROMACS molecular dynamics simulator in a number of different directions, but all designed with upstreaming in mind. Among others, I'm working on sliced pull and conditional stop . (Feel free to contact me with any questions or ideas.) I was one of the developers of ns-3 network simulator. In particular, I was a developer of optical telecommunication network model called Photonic WDM Network Simulator (PWNS) ( source code available on request ; detailed description of the feature functionality is available in my PhD thesis ). Among other projects, I have contributed patches to LLVM and Mesa (part of Radeon open source Linux driver development effort), CP2K , LaTeX Beamer class , and others (detailed summary of my contributions can be found on OpenHub ). Prior to contributing code to open source projects, I was a tester and web standards advocate for Mozilla and also tester and support for kX Project , an alternative driver for Sound Blaster Live! and Audigy cards developed to expand the potential of the EMU10kX DSPs. I follow the development of tools such as NEPI/NEF/NETNS , IMUNES / CORE , OpenFlow , NDN , CUB , Modern GPU , NVBIO , and UGENE . Teaching At Faculty of Informatics and Digital Technology (formerly Department of Informatics) I teach the following courses ( teaching materials are available on GitHub under CC-BY-SA 4.0 license ): Computer Networks (TA: Matea Turalija ) Security of Information and Communication Systems (only TA) Code Optimization for YUFE students Web Programming (TA: Milan Petrović ) Communication Networks Network and Mobile Operating Systems (only TA) Computer System Administration (only TA) Supercomputer Systems Network Systems Management I taught Dynamic Web Applications 2 (TA: Milan Petrović ) until 2021, Computer Networks 1 and Computer Networks 2 until 2020, since inherting the courses from professor Mario Radovan (retd.). I TA'd Parallel Programming on Heterogeneous Systems ( developed from 2012. to 2016. in partnernship with NVIDIA under GPU Education Center (formerly CUDA Teaching Center) Program ) and Distributed Systems until 2021, Operating Systems 2 until 2020, Operating Systems 1 until 2012, and Educational System Design until 2011, all courses instructed by professor Božidar Kovačić . At Faculty of Engineering I TA'd Computer Networks course on undergraduate level in 2013 and 2014, instructed by professor Mladen Tomić . At Department of Biotechnology I TA'd Informatics in 2009 and taught it in 2019, 2020, and 2021. Activism I am a member of the Committee for Supercomputing Resources at University of Rijeka that is directing the activities of Centre for Advanced Computing and Modelling (CNRM) and supporting the users of the Bura supercomputer . As a coordinator of the local Linux user group (LUG) HULK Rijeka , I regularly advocate for the usage and development of free and open source software (FOSS). In particular, we are organizing the observances of Document Freedom Day on a regular basis, where we promote the usage of LibreOffice , an open source office suite, and OpenDocument , an open standard format for office documents. Finally, I stand for individual freedom which is constantly under threat from pervasive surveillance and unrestrained authoritarian governments. I appreciate and support the work of Electronic Frontier Foundation in this area.
