Prior to working at the Dyson Institute of Engineering and Technology, I was a Lecturer in Computer Science at Swansea university. I was attracted to the Dyson Institute in 2022 to be a part of, and help establish, a far more substantial learning experience for students, where theory comes with application and practice – something I believe traditional universities of scale have lost sight of.
