SEE-Dave Towey

Short Bio

Dave received the BA and MA degrees in computer science, linguistics, and languages from the University of Dublin, Trinity College; the MEd degree in education leadership from the University of Bristol; and the PhD degree in computer science from The University of Hong Kong. He is a professor of Computer Science, and serves as the deputy head of the School of Computer Science, and the deputy director of the International Doctoral Innovation Centre. His current research interests include software testing (especially adaptive random testing, for which he was amongst the earliest researchers who established the field, and metamorphic testing), computer security, and technology-enhanced education. He co-founded the ICSE International Workshop on Metamorphic Testing in 2016. He is a fellow of the HEA, a senior member of the IEEE, and a member of the ACM.
