Anna Fisker Hansen

After a yearlong secondment as Senior Technician, managing the Faculty of Science and Engineering LABplus Resource Centre, supporting STEM teaching and learning e.g. by developing online resources for undergraduate students, I return to my usual role in the School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics.

Here, I manage resources from Smeaton Store in the open plan Robotics and Electronics lab facility, supporting teaching and learning by issuing loan-able equipment for undergraduate students, running the School’s estore page, and complete purchases from external suppliers for project student, workshops and academic and research staff. I manage the online resource booker for Smeaton Store, which gives students access to equipment for completing practical work, along side managing ad hoc lab access  for students wishing to use the Electrical, Electronics, Robotics and Networking facilities on the 3rd floor of the Smeaton Building.
