I work on the POETS project, as both a computer engineer and domain specialist. POETS is a multi-institution programme about proving a point: event-based compute (with its supporting architectures) yields orders of magnitude performance improvements for key problems in engineering, resulting in immense societal and scientific impact. The breadth of expertise available in Computer Engineering at Southampton is unusual – coupled with the opportunities for growth and collaboration, the potential to create and disseminate high-impact research is considerable.
Southampton is supportive of my career aspirations. I have been provided with considerable career and wellbeing guidance – including grant-writing courses and bespoke advice – which has helped me grow as a well-rounded academic, with the freedom and flexibility to choose my own research direction.
