Profile of Peter McOwan, Professor of Computer Science
Dr. Peter McOwan’s associations with Soda run from the distant historic past, where he was on hand at the birth of Sodaconstructor, to the glittering present as the scientist behind Sodarace.
Peter is a Professor in Computer Science at Queen Mary, University of London, pondering on some fairly big questions about human and machine intelligence, and writes for the CS4FN magazine in his spare time.
