<strikethrough>strategies for success in computer science research</strikethrough> - Professor Licia Capra @liciacapra
Licia Capra is Professor of Pervasive Computing in the Department of Computer Science at University College London. Licia has an MEng degree in Computer Science from the University of Bologna in Italy, and a PhD in Computer Science from UCL. After a brief post-doctoral experience, she took a Lectureship position at UCL in 2005, and was promoted to Professor in 2015. Licia has supervised 6 PhD students to completion, and has acted as Director of Studies / Departmental Tutor in 2018/19. She has over 170 publications and 8,000 citations in international venues such as the ACM Conference on Computer-Supported Collaborative Work and Social Computing (CSCW) and The Web Conference (WWW). Licia’s research now focuses on computational social science, and the development and use of methods to study human behaviors in computer-mediated (collaborative) settings.
Abstract
In this talk I will outline my own career journey as a computer scientist, from when it started back in 1996 as a UG student, to 2015 when I was promoted to full professor. Rather than a story of strategy and success, I will cover the many accidents (and failures) that accompanied me through this journey. On the way, I will touch upon some of the research work I have done over the years, spanning different areas of computer science, and different disciplines beyond computer science. I will conclude with a reflection on the choices I am glad I did, and those I regret a little. The aim is not to dispense advise on what is best, but rather to highlight what you might want to think about when the time comes to make choices in your own computer science journey.
