Teaching & Supervision

Current Students - Aslam Ahmed, Robert Miles

Please email me if you are interested in pursuing a PhD in the development of the Dendritic Cell Algorithm, AIS algorithm development or the theory underpinning Affective Computing Systems.

I supervise currently 6 undergraduate dissertation projects and three MSc projects per year on topics ranging from data visualisation to cloud computing security for businesses.

I also am the module convenor for Foundations of Software Engineering (G51FSE) and New Media Design (G53NMD) for the 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 session. If you are interested in studying G53NMD, please note that this is a self directed module with podcasts in place of formal lectures. I have previously taught two UNIX modules within the school.

My role within the School of Computer Science is as Outreach Officer. As part of this role I give a lot of talks and meet really interesting people, both scientists and members of the public alike, in addition to running events for school children. I believe that public education of science is paramount to securing the UK's future as a prominent world leader in science, and I like to help out with this when I can. I am also involved in the Nottingham branch of Girl Geek Dinners and play an active role in encouraging young women into the field of computer science.

Current Projects

• The Dendritic Cell Algorithm: past present and future
• The development of rational immune systems from first principles
• Agent based modelling of the Human immune System
• Affective computing from machine learning perspectives
• Biosensing on Bikes
• Reflective robotics: a novel approach to self monitoring with affective robots.

Previous Projects

• The Danger Project: Developing AIS based on the Danger Theory for Intrusion Detection Systems (EPSRC, GR/S47809/01);
• Context aware intrusion detection systems (EPSRC, EP/D071976/1);
• Rational Immune Systems (U. Notts Anne McLaren Research Fellowship)
