Dr Michael Mangan

简介

Michael Mangan joined the Department of Computer Science at the University of Sheffield in April 2018. Before joining he was a Senior Lecturer in Computer Science in College of Science and member of the Lincoln Centre for Autonomous Systems (L-CAS).He received his undergraduate degree in Avionics (MEng) from the University of Glasgow in 2004, before moving to the University of Edinburgh where he completed an MSc in Neuroinformatics (2006) and a PhD in biorobotics (2011).He remained at the University of Edinburgh for the next 4 years receiving funding awards from the BBSRC and EPSRC. He joined the Lincoln Centre for Autonomous Systems in April, 2016.
