We congratulate David Deeks, FIAP who writes elsewhere on these pages, on his elevation to the rank of Professor at Sunderland University.
Edwin Keen, BEng MSc FIAP is standing for re-election to the Council this year. He talks about himself and his aims below.
I am one of the earliest Fellows still in the Institution, having joined in 1983 and first being elected to the Council in 1996. I am currently a Principal Lecturer at England’s newest university in Bolton, Lancashire where I am also Legal Main Contact of the Cisco Academy Program. My specialism nowadays is computer networking and network security and I have recently qualified as an instructor for the Cisco Fundamentals of Network Security course.
During my career, I’ve worked on embedded and commercial software, as programmer, analyst, team leader and IT manager both as a contractor and as ‘permanent’ staff. I still feel that the Institution is a long way from fulfilling its true potential, but consider real progress has been made in the last couple of years and look forward to an opportunity to contribute towards its further success.
