Dr Neil Smith

Senior Lecturer in Computing

Research interests

My main research interests are in pedagogy of STEM education, including ways of engaging people in non-traditional contexts, such as children in Code Clubs and under-represented groups looking to move into computing.

Teaching interests

I teach in the areas of data science and machine learning. I currently lead a team developing a new module on machine learning for the OU's data science degree.

Impact and engagement

I work with several groups outside the university, including Code Club and GirlsCodeMK. Both these groups work to engage people with computing outside traditional higher-education contexts.
