Trosolwg

Mae Dr Nicholas Micallef yn Ddarlithydd ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe. Mae ei ddiddordebau ymchwil yn cynnwys rhyngweithiadau rhwng pobl a chyfrifiaduron (HCI), camwybodaeth, dulliau diogelwch a phreifatrwydd defnyddiadwy, dulliau dilysu a HCI symudol. Mae ei ymchwil ddiweddar yn canolbwyntio ar gamwybodaeth o safbwynt data a phobl. Yn ei rôl flaenorol ym Mhrifysgol Efrog Newydd Abu Dhabi, cymerodd ran mewn prosiectau amrywiol a fu’n astudio dulliau gwrthsefyll camwybodaeth a lledaenu camwybodaeth aml-lwyfan, aml-ddull. Yn ei swydd ym Mhrifysgol De Cymru Newydd, roedd ei ymchwil yn canolbwyntio ar ddylunio technolegau i wella preifatrwydd sy'n rhoi gwybodaeth realistig i ddefnyddwyr i'w gwneud yn anhysbys ar-lein. Enillodd Dr Micallef ei PhD o Brifysgol Glasgow Caledonian yn y Deyrnas Unedig. Yn ei PhD, ymchwiliodd i'r defnydd o synhwyro symudol er mwyn gwella defnyddioldeb dulliau dilysu ffonau symudol.

CS-130 Professional Issues 1: Computers and Society

Students will be introduced to the main professional issues associated with software engineering and computer science research. Students will also examine the main impacts of computing on society and social issues on the practice of computing, including legal and ethical concerns such as copyright and the Data Protection Act 2018 (i.e., the UK¿s implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation - GDPR). Issues of network security will also be discussed. The course also includes communication and technical-report writing skills.
