Overview
Sue Black is a Senior Research Associate at University College London, England.[1] She was previously Head of the Department of Information and Software Systems at the University of Westminster, London. She founded BCSWomen, a Specialist Group of the British Computer Society, in 2001, and was chair of the group until 2008. She has been instrumental in championing the saving of Bletchley Park from destruction due to lack of funding.[2]
Education and work
Black graduated from London's South Bank University[3] in 1993 and earned her PhD there as well in 2001.[4][5] The ripple effect is a term within the field of software metrics used with respect to a complexity measure.[6]
Black was the founding chair of the BCS Specialist Group BCSWomen[7] and is an advocate of women in computing.[8]
Black runs a blog to help raise awareness of and funding for Bletchley Park,[9] the UK World War II centre for decrypting enemy messages.[2][10] She used other Web 2.0 technologies such as Facebook and Twitter for this purpose.[11][12] At the end of 2015, she published a book about the process, Saving Bletchley Park, initially funded via Unbound.[13]
She has appeared on BBC television, radio and in press articles.[10][14][15][16]
Awards
In 2009, Black won the first John Ivinson Award[17] from the British Computer Society at the Royal Society in London. In 2011, Black won the PepsiCo Women's Inspiration Award.[18] In 2012, she was listed as one of Datamation's 10 Women in Tech Who Give Back.[19]
In 2015, Black was identified as the 7th[20] Most Influential Women in UK IT 2015, by Computer Weekly.
Black was also one of the 30 women identified in the British Computer Society's Women in IT Campaign in 2014, who were then featured in the e-book "Women in IT: Inspiring the next generation" produced by the BCS.[21]
She was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2016 New Year Honours for services to technology.[22][23][24]
