Senior🎓
Top SchoolShirley Atkinson is an Associate Professor of Business Analytics and Faculty Director of Data Science and AI Education at the University of Exeter, combining two leadership roles to shape curricula and teaching quality across data science, AI and analytics. With a PhD in Privacy and a career that began in 1992 as a hands-on database and software developer, she brings rare depth across full software lifecycles, databases (SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL) and web/C# technologies into academic practice. She previously led a computing department turnaround at the University of Plymouth, moving student satisfaction from the bottom to the top quartile through curriculum redesign and targeted interventions. Her research remains focused on connected technologies and digital safeguarding for vulnerable groups, building on long-standing collaborations with local early years initiatives and policy-informing work. Equally comfortable in code and classrooms, she champions industry-aligned education for the South West tech sector while continuing practical contributions as a visiting researcher and museum trustee.
