Personal profile
Biography
Tess Crosbie has been with the university in various roles - as an MSc student, part-time Visiting Lecturer and full-time Lecturer - since 2005. With a background in the Arts, she has gravitated towards the soft skills side of Computer Science, particularly in Agile Project Management which she teaches at both UG and PG level. She shares an office with a large spider plant called Toby, and some humans.
Outside academia, she is a keen literary fiction reader, a runner, mountain biker and hiker. She runs regular crochet sessions for well-being at the Treehouse and if that all sounds quite dull, used to be a diver in a shark tank, which is officially Cool.
Research interests
Application of digital tools to written literary works. Her PhD thesis was an investigation into the ability of computers to measure aesthetics in literary texts, a topic that fits in with her passion for Literature. Currently working on an examination of style in Herodotus’s Histories.
