“I still do hate computers” says Wendy Hall. Ironic, since she is one of the most distinguished computer scientists in the country. She is the current president of the Association for Computing Machinery, past president of the British Computer Society, former head of Southampton’s School of Electronics and Computer Science, the first dean of Southampton’s new Faculty of Physical and Applied Sciences, and only the second female computer scientist, after Steve Shirley, to be made a Dame. “I loathed Fortran,” she adds. “I never dreamt I would end up with the career I ended up with.”
