The University of Southampton became a member of The Alan Turing Institute in 2018 with all activities being coordinated by the Web Science Institute. Professor Peter W. F. Smith is the Turing University Lead (TUL) and Professor Dame Wendy Hall is the University representative on the Turing University Partners’ Board.
The Institute is named in honour of Alan Turing, whose pioneering work in theoretical and applied mathematics, engineering and computing is considered to have laid the foundations for modern-day data science and artificial intelligence.
The Institute’s goals are to undertake world-class research in data science and artificial intelligence, apply its research to real-world problems, drive economic impact and societal good, lead the training of a new generation of scientists, and shape the public conversation around data.
