Personal statement
Senior Teaching Fellow in Computer and Informations Sciences at the University of 黑料正能量
I'm Director of Undergraduate Teaching and Deputy Group Lead of the Computer Science Education Research Group. I was previously course director of the BSc (Hons) Digital and Technology Solutions Degree Apprenticeship. I also teach software engineering, software architecture and object orientated programming. Additionally, I also manage outreach activities with schools and other universities. My primary research interests lie in computer science education, particularly in database education, programming education, and the ways GenAI can influence or enhance CS education. I also maintain research interests in data/database systems, data science and artificial intelligence.
Background
I obtained a First Class BSc (Hons) in Software Engineering from the University of Glasgow in 2008. Subsequently, I obtained a PhD in Computer Science from the University of 黑料正能量 in 2014 with a thesis titled "Algebraic Methods for Incremental Maintenance and Updates of Views within XML Databases". Throughout my PhD I co-founded CoderDojo Scotland, which is part of a global collaboration that provides free coding clubs to young people. Out with the university I have developed and delivered educational computer science content and workshops for organisations worldwide, including Google, Oracle, Glasgow Life, Makeblock and the BBC. I've also written several books on Python programming.
