Lucia Rapanotti

I’m a Senior Lecturer in Computing, and the Associate Dean, Curriculum, leading strategic planning, governance and quality assurance of the STEM curriculum. I began my scientific career as a computer scientist in Milan, Oxford and Newcastle Universities. I then took a detour into software practice, as lead developer of innovative pedagogical software, which taught me what it takes to deliver innovation successfully and lead agile multi-functional teams, key skills I brought back into my research and teaching.
My primary research concerns the development of theories, methods and tools to engineer solutions to complex problems in organisations, put to test via engaged research in real-world organisational contexts. 
My scholarship focuses on pedagogical innovation in Computing, from introductory coding skills in schools and undergraduate programmes, to supporting Masters and Doctoral level working professionals at the leading edge of the discipline.  I’m is also an expert in digitally mediated distance education.
