Bangor University Team
Technocamps is based in the School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering at Bangor University.
Sa'ad Mansoor
Sa’ad is Senior Lecturer at Bangor University. His research expertise lies mainly in the modelling and analysis of complex systems, and computer networks.
Much of the emphasis of his work has been on compartmental modelling and the application of techniques in system dynamics, non-linear systems, and control theory. His research has been performed in close collaboration with academic and industrial research groups across Europe. He has been involved in Technocamps since its creation.
Alex Clewett
Alex is the Technocamps Regional Coordinator based at Bangor University, responsible for delivering and managing Technocamps’ activity in North Wales.
He has worked in the IT industry and as a curriculum leader in secondary education. More recent national and regional roles involved supporting schools with ‘Hwb’ - the national digital learning platform, the Digital Competence Framework and the ‘Cracking the Code’ programme. Alex is particularly interested in using physical computing to encourage youngsters into Computer Science and STEM.
Dr. Dave Perkins
Dave was the first coordinator of the Bangor regional hub of Technocamps and has since moved to Director of T&L in the School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering.
His background is in electronic engineering though heavily based in physics with his PhD being on the determination of nonlinear modulation response of semiconductor laser diodes by quadrature detection.
Ceri Williams
Ceri is the Senior Clerical Support Officer for Technocamps at Bangor University.
Her background is in Residential Lettings and Office Management. Her organisational skills allow the smooth running of the project within the Bangor hub.
Joseph Mearman
Joe is a PhD student and teacher in Computer Science who has been working with Technocamps in many capacities for several years.
He is passionate about new tech including wearables, lifelogging, "smart" technologies, IoT, robotics and rapid prototyping. He is currently studying for a PhD based on novel "beyond the desktop" visualisation techniques.
Andrew Dawson
Andrew is a delivery officer for Technocamps based in Bangor.
He is responsible for developing and delivering workshops for primary and secondary schools in North Wales that link various STEM subjects to Computer Science.
Andrew is a graduate from Bangor University with a Masters in Electronic Engineering.
Andy Harbach
Andy is a part time lecturer at Bangor University, specialising in databases, web applications, and system administration.
In the Technocamps project, Andy is responsible for the day to day management of the equipment used by the Bangor hub. He tries to make his job as easy as possible by writing software to allow team members to check items in and out.
Andy has 19 years experience working as a software developer and sysadmin in industry. In his spare time Andy plays guitar, attends rock concerts, rides a motorbike and is a mountaineer.
Daniel Evans
Daniel is a Technocamps Senior Ambassador and a BSc Computer Information Systems student at Bangor University.
Daniel is responsible for managing and delivering the TechnoClubs in the North Region and also assists in various other workshops that Technocamps offer. Daniel is also a STEM Ambassador and enjoys spending time playing online computer games and socialising with friends in his free time.
