  • PERSONAL AWARD, PRIZE, HONOUR
    1 Dec 2021 - 1 Dec 2025
    I have received as a Chair the Bronze Athena SWAN Award for the School of Computer Science (December 2021). This was the second submission and the positive research culture was recognized in term of the significant progress that took place since 2019 in terms of the gender equality with focus on the enhanced school maternity leave policy (I initiated this policy based on personal experience for support needed in research funding post maternity leave) and the gender proofed workload model, to ensure the values and expectations in terms of a balanced workload from an EDI perspective. My leadership led to the advancement of the governance of EDI within my School, the recruitment of a full-time EDI administrator and change of mindset a male dominated workplace. This positive research culture had an impact of attracting more female research students that increased from 29% (2019) to 39% (2022).
