Anna Fisker Hansen

I manage resources for the School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics. 

As the the main administrator and developer of Smarthub the online resource booker for Smeaton Store, I give students access to equipment for completing practical work, along side managing ad hoc lab access  for students wishing to use the Electrical, Electronics and Robotics facilities on the 3rd floor of the Smeaton Building. 

From Smeaton Store, in the open plan Robotics and Electronics lab facility, I support 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, laboratories and academic and research staff.

In my five years at the University I have also worked 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 during lock down and blended learning in 2021.
