Amy Wilkins
Project Manager – EMOTE
EMOTE aims to improve the use of artificial tutors as learning-facilitator tools. These platforms still fail to engage the students the same way a teacher does, as they lack the personal, empathy elements. Prior to joining the University Amy worked in research and project management in the private/charity sector, specialising in the field of equality and human rights.
Other new staff include:
- Louis Saade, Research Associate
