Her research interests are applied probability, matrix-analytic methods (MAMs), stochastic modelling, and applied probability applications in operations research, health care systems, and evolutionary biology.

Biography

Małgorzata received her MSc degree in Mathematics and Education from Wroclaw University in 1987. She completed her MSc thesis in the area of reliability of linear consecutive systems under the supervision of Prof Tomasz Rolski. In 2002 she received her PhD degree in applied probability from the University of Adelaide in 2002 under the supervision of the esteemed Prof Charles Pearce. In 2005, she completed her postdoc at the Teletraffic Research Centre at Adelaide University, working as a Research Associate on an ARC Discovery project, with Profs Peter Taylor and Nigel Bean, in the area of matrix-analytic methods. She has been a lecturer in probability, operations research, stochastic modelling and discrete mathematics at the University of Tasmania since 2005. Małgorzata is one of the key contributors to the theory of MAMs. She is the member of the Steering Committee of the MAMs Conferences and has chaired and organised the MAM10 conference Hobart in 2019. She has been an Editor of the MAM10 conference proceedings, and served on the Editorial Board of the Special Issue devoted to MAM10 in Stochastic Models. She is leading a multidisciplinary team "Designs for a Better Patient Journey" in modelling and optimisation of healthcare systems, in collaboration with the Tasmanian Department of Health.
