Hannah Dee

Hannah Dee developed and runs the annual BCSWomen Lovelace Colloquium, the one-day conference for women computing students to encourage networking for women students from around the UK, in addition to gaining career development advice from successful women in computing. Hannah is a lecturer in computer science at Aberystwyth University,[1] with research areas in computer vision for the analysis of human behaviour; shadow detection and reasoning; and student attitudes to the study of computer science. She is noted for championing the cause of women in IT.

She was one of the 30 women identified in the BCS Women in IT Campaign in 2014 source[2] and was then featured in the e-book of these 30 women in IT, “Women in IT: Inspiring the next generation” produced by the BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, as a free download e-book, from various sources.

Academic qualifications

Postdoctoral research positions

Before employment at Aberystwyth, she accepted a one year post doctorate position working in Grenoble (in the French alps). Prior to that she undertook a three year post doctorate in Leeds, and before that, six months in Kingston upon Thames.

Research area

Computer vision, specifically modelling visual change and patterns of motion, has worked in surveillance, analysing videos of human behaviour, modelling plant growth, modelling the way in which an artist's style changes over time. Teaching has mainly been in Artificial Intelligence and web programming. Hannah was awarded a university learning and teaching fellowship from Aberystwyth in 2012.
