Within the Faculty of Computing, Engineering and Media we are going to celebrate Ada Lovelace Day. We are looking to showcase some of our colleagues and students;

  1. who they are and why they pursued a career or studies in a STEM Subject
  2. the women in STEM who have inspired them
  3. the barriers that they have faced and how they have overcome them

“I never am really satisfied that I understand anything; because, understand it well as I may, my comprehension can only be an infinitesimal fraction of all I want to understand about the many connections and relations which occur to me, how the matter in question was first thought of or arrived at…”
