We have applied mathematicians, physicists, and even a philosopher on the faculty! But upon reflection I don’t think it’s unexpected since people attracted to computing need to enjoy reinvention. I personally think that people with broad backgrounds bring a lot to the field, and I’m looking forward to hearing your perspective on computing education in the UK. It’s an especially exciting time for computing there, and I want to know more.
