Professor Leslie S. Smith: Personal Home Page

Research Home Page

As of 3rd October 2018, I became an Emeritus Professor: what does that mean? While officially retired, I retain space within the University, and remain actively involved in research.

• I am a member of the Data Science and Intelligent Systems Research Group. My own primary interests are in early auditory processing, spike-based computing and computational neuroscience.
• I was joint leader of the Artificial Intelligence (with Prof Emma Hart, of Napier University) theme of the Scottish Informatics and Computer Science Alliance (SICSA), but have now stood down from this position.

Teaching

Over the many years (since 1980, originally at Glasgow University, and since 1984, at Stirling) I have taught a very wide range of material in Computing, and even occasionally Mathematics. And now I'm not teaching at all.

Personal

Yes, I am a person with other interests too. I have a wife and family, and play jazz/blues/folk piano, and am learning the clarinet.
