This talk will focus on the obvious question – what does the CSA for Scotland do? Professor Calder will outline the scope of the post, some recent achievements, priorities for science and engineering over the next two years, and some specific challenges concerning computer science at school.
Professor Muffy Calder is the second chief scientific adviser for Scotland. She undertook the post on 1 March 2012. Calder comes to the Scottish Government from the University of Glasgow where she will continue to hold chair of Professor of Formal Methods (Computing Science). Her research is in modelling and reasoning about the behaviour of complex software and biochemical systems using computer science, mathematics and automated reasoning techniques. In 2011 Calder was awarded an OBE for services to Computer Science and a Royal Society Wolfson Merit Award. Calder also played a key role in establishing the BCS Academy of Computing as a partnership between UKCRC, CPHC and BCS. More info: http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~muffy/
