Achim Jung is an Emeritus Professor of Computer Science.

Achim served as Head of School twice, 1997-2000 and 2008-2012.

Achim's interests are in mathematical structures underpinning the formal semantics of programming languages, such as ordered sets, topological spaces, categories, and logics.

Achim is also passionate about the teaching of computer science, both at university and in schools. He is one of the founder members of the Computing at School network.
