My Job
I am a
lecturer in the Computer Science department at the University of Wales,
Aberystwyth. No matter how much we moan about our jobs, there are not many jobs
better than working in a university environment. Sure there is too much to do,
but at least I get time to do some interesting research and chase some of those
fun ideas.
Some Responsibilities
Teaching
human-computer interaction, looking after the third year students (including
coordinating the major project module), first year tutorial group, teaching
some intelligent robotics stuff, teaching some operating systems stuff. Mmm…
that’s a longish list. Doing lots of fun research and publishing bits of it
occasionally. Ooops, I nearly forgot… being a father.
Research group
I am a member
of the Intelligent Robotics research group. I do lots of things that don’t fit
into this particularly well, but it reflects the fact that I like to do things
that deal with the awkwardness of the physical world. Nothing like dealing with
real sensors to make you think carefully about the effects of noise, drift etc…
