Venue: Glasgow Science Centre

Considering a career in engineering?

Engineering Video Games and Beyond

Abertay University in Dundee is home to the UK’s first national Centre for Excellence in computer games education and houses the biggest Sony Playstation development lab in Europe. IESIS and partners arepleased to bring to school students this series of talks and illustrations about careers in software

engineering and games development from three of the University’s leading experts. They will cover how

games are made and how computer games technology is increasingly being used in other areas, such as

Hollywood movies, medical research and environmental planning. Among other projects Abertay’s experts

have applied the technology to the pre‐production work on last year’s blockbuster Dawn of the Planet of

the Apes, and are also using it to speed up the testing of anti‐cancer drugs.

Jim Bown is Professor of Systems Biology and played a key role in developing

Abertay’s mathematical modelling and bioinformatics research centre. Jim will show examples of

computer interactive visualisation applied to assisting science and engineering including design of urban environments and development of anti‐cancer drug combinations.

Dr Natalie Coull teaches Abertay’s Masters degree in Ethical Hacking andComputer Security and her research covers improving computer security for children by bridging the gap between their knowledge oftechnology and their lack of awareness of cybersecurity. Natalie will discuss recent cyber attacks including the “Sony Hack” and the “Adobepassword leak” and the lessons that can be learned from them.

Matt Bett is a lecturer in games engineering, teaches Abertay’s computer games courses, researches virtual reality and has spent recent years developing new ways of controlling “virtual cameras”. His work with FoxStudios on a film‐making tool based on his virtual camera technology, whichwas used on the hugely successful Hollywood blockbuster Dawn of the Planet of the Apes has created world‐wide interest.
