New Turing Liaison Officers join the JGI team

As an active member of the Turing University Network, we have appointed a Turing Liaison Manager and two Turing Liaison Academics to support and enhance the partnership between Alan Turing Institute and the University of Bristol. These roles will be focusing on increasing engagement from Turing, developing external and internal networks around data science and AI, and supporting relevant interest groups, Enrichment students and Turing Fellows at the University of Bristol.

Turing Liaison Manager, Isabelle Halton and Turing Academic Liaisons, Conor Houghton and Emmanouil Tranos, are keen to build communities around data science and AI, providing support to staff and students who want to be more involved in Turing activity.

Isabelle previously worked in the Professional Liaison Network in the Faculty of Social Sciences and Law. She has extensive experience in building relationships and networks, project and event management and streamlining activities connecting academics and external organisations.

Conor is a Reader in the School of Engineering Mathematics and Technology, interested in linguistics and the brain. Conor is a Turing Fellow and a member of the TReX, the Turing ethics committee.

Emmanouil is currently a Turing Fellow and a Professor of Quantitative Human Geography, specialising primarily on the spatial dimensions of the digital economy.
