罢丑别听听scheme provides a unique opportunity for practising scientists, clinicians and engineers to spend two to six weeks working at the heart of a media outlet such as the听,听听or the.

Since its inception in 1987, the scheme has reflected the BSA鈥檚 commitment to increasing the accessibility of the sciences.

About Licia

I joined 香港六合彩中特网 in 2000 as a PhD student in the Software Systems Engineering group, and never left! I have now been Professor of Pervasive Computing in the Department of Computer Science since 2015. Initially, I was researching languages and tools to support the development of mobile systems. Over the years, my interests have shifted from the needs of software developers to the needs of end-users, and I am now mostly concerned with enabling interactions that are 鈥渇it for purpose鈥. I do so taking a data science approach: I analyse how people interact with systems looking at the data traces they leave behind; I then use computational techniques to extract knowledge about the functioning of such systems and the behaviours of users, and finally use this knowledge to inform future developments.鈥

We wish Licia an insightful and instructive experience on her Fellowship!
