Senior Lecturer in Computer Science

Tess Crosbie joined the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ as a part time MSc student in 2005. Following graduation in 2008 she came back as a Visiting Lecturer while studying for her research degree and joined the staff full time in November 2016 after submitting her PhD. Her thesis is an investigation into the ability of computers to measure aesthetics in literary texts, a topic that fits in with her passion for Literature. When not reading she tries to fit in as much scuba diving as possible. Preferably somewhere warm.
