Introduction

My name is Michele Filannino (yes, Michele with just one "l") and I am a PhD student at Centre for Doctoral Training in Computer Science in the University of Manchester. The Manchester Centre for Doctoral Training in Computer Science proposes a new model of PhD training which combines the deep technical research study associated with the UK PhD with training and practical experience in creativity and innovation and scientific evaluation, and gives students experiences practicing their research skills by working with users from outside academia. It is the first and currently only EPSRC funded CDT in core computer science, and is led by Professor Steve Furber and Dr. Jonathan Shapiro.
