Software Sustainability Institute Advisory Board

The Advisory Board provides the Software Sustainability Institute with insight and guidance on future strategic direction, particularly with respect to policy. It comprises individuals with experience from many different fields who all share an interest in research software.

Advisory Board Chair - Prof. David Gavaghan

David Gavaghan leads the Computational Biology Group based primarily within the Department of Computer Science at the University of Oxford. His research is interdisciplinary and involves application of mathematical and computational techniques to problems in biomedicine, and in the associated basic sciences. A strong emphasis is placed on solving real-world problems and providing meaningful and practical help to scientific co-workers, and all of the work is therefore conducted in collaboration with internationally leading clinical and experimental groups, both within the UK and overseas.
