Biography
Salman Toor earned his Masters and PhD in Scientific Computing from Uppsala University. In 2014, Toor finished his postdoctoral research from CMS program, Helsinki Institute of Physics, Finland. From 2015-2017, Toor was employed as a researcher in the Department of Information Technology, Uppsala University and as a senior cloud architect at Swedish National Infrastructure for Computing (SNIC). Toor is the co-chair of the Integrative Scalable Computing Lab (ISCL) at Uppsala University and co-founder and CTO at Scaleout Systems AB. Toor is one of the lead architects of the FEDn framework, designed and developed for scalable federated machine learning. Toor is a co-PI of the Gigacow project and a named researcher in the HASTE and SustAinimal projects. Together with extensive research experience, Toor has over 15 years of teaching experience in different international institutions. He has designed and developed both masters and PhD level courses in the field of distributed computing infrastructures.
