Nearchos Paspallis

Associate Professor

[UCLan Cyprus Ltd] Computing and Mathematics

Software Engineering, Mobile Systems, Distributed Systems, Software Technology

I am an Associate Professor at the University of Central Lancashire — Cyprus where I am the Head of the School of Sciences, an interdisciplinary team of academics working in computer science, engineering, mathematics, psychology, sports & exercise science, and media. My research focuses on Mobile and Distributed Systems in the wider area of Software Engineering. I also study applications of Gamification as a means for behaviour change, and topics in Computer Science Education especially in the context of Code Cyprus. I am the founder of Code Cyprus, a yearly event aiming to encourage high school students to learn programming.

Fulbright Scholar, Fellow of the Higher Education Academy
