As Professor in Computing, Andrew is engaged in both teaching and research. He is
currently supervising eight PhD students and leading on a number of initiatives with local
companies.
Beyond the University, Professor Ware is currently working as external examiner in
Computing for Staffordshire University, with particular responsibility for helping to
oversee the development of new provision in Ghana. In terms of international work,
Professor Ware is currently the USW representative on two European Funded Intensive
Programmes and involved with projects in Singapore, Norway and Canada.
High Performance Computing (HPC) Wales is an innovative collaboration that gives
businesses and researchers access to world-class, secure and relatively easy to use HPC
technology. USW is one of the partners in the collaboration and has devolved targets in
terms of industrial usage, student engagement, as well as research and curriculum
development. Professor Ware is the lead academic from USW on this exciting and
dynamic project.
Techno Camps is a Wales Convergence Area, European Union, funded project. The
project aims to increase and stimulate the pipeline of student talent entering higher
education in the field of Computing and its cognate disciplines. USW is one of the
partners in the project and has devolved targets in terms of engagement by school pupils
and other young people groups. There are four full-time USW based staff and a group of
trained Student Ambassadors (tasked with helping to deliver these objectives) that are led
and managed by Professor Ware.
Software Alliance Wales is a Convergence Area European Union funded project. The
project aims to improve the software development capability and capacity of Wales based
companies. It sets out to achieve these objectives through its offering of CPD courses,
university student projects, and company accreditation. USW is one of the partners in the
project and has devolved targets and a local full-time USW based staff complement of
three. Moreover, a significant number of the School’s staff have time bought out by the
project to enable them to engage with the supervision of student projects and the delivery
of CPD activity. USW’s involvement with the project is led and managed by Professor
Ware.
