30+ Years of modelling communicating systems – What did I learn?
Professor Dame Muffy Calder
FREng FRSE, Vice-Principal and Head of College of Science and Engineering, University of Glasgow.
Muffy published her first paper on modelling telecoms protocols in 1989. Since then, the applications and techniques she has developed and used have changed, and so has she.
Drawing on successes over the last 30 years, she will reflect on how her research has evolved, what she has learned, and challenges we might think about in the future.
Muffy Calder has been Vice-Principal and Head of College of Science and Engineering, University of Glasgow, since 2015, previously she was the Chief Scientific Adviser for Scotland. She is a computer scientist with research interests in modelling and automated reasoning for complex, sensor-driven systems, and privacy and national security.
She has been a member of the Prime Minister’s Council for Science and Technology, a Royal Society Leverhulme Research Senior Fellow and a Suffrage Science award winner in Computing Science and Mathematics.
The talk was followed by a Q&A session facilitated by Dr Carol Marsh OBE in which Professor Calder fielded some in-depth questioning with aplomb!
Engineering Scotland would kindly like to thank the University of Glasgow for hosting this lecture and helping to make it an enjoyable experience for all who attended.
