In response to these interests, Mr. Fraser Harrison, Lecturer in the School of Computing & Innovative Technologies at BUV, emphasised BUV’s vision in training the next generation of technology engineers “Computing is an integral part of modern life and we really see that we need to be developing it and pushing it further. And that’s what we do here at BUV. Our mission and vision for high-performance computing, data science, and artificial intelligence are to entwine these technologies with everything we do. It’s essential that we’re developing the talent for the future to take advantage of these different layers of technology.”
