Jennifer Owen's Research Website
I'm a computer science research student at the university of York. I'm working on modelling swarming robotics using the CoSMoS framework.
My supervisors are Susan Stepney, Jon Timmis and Alan Winfield.
If you want to contact me then my email address is jowen (at) cs (dot) york (dot) ac (dot) uk.
My LinkedIn profile can be viewed here.
What I look like, in case you need to know.
My dad complained that the original picture wasn't dynamic and go-getting enough, so now there are 8 photos of me, one of which will be randomly selected for your viewing pleasure.
This is a picture of me brokering an important business deal:
I am a member of the CoSMoS research group.
I've made a 3D printable version of the CoSMoS logo which you can download and print for yourself. It will (ideally) give you an object that looks like this.

Awards
My qualifying dissertation "Investigating the Link Between Complexity and Evolution in Swarm Robotic Systems" (which is a literature survey and a compulsory part of my PhD) won the K.M. Stott Prize for the Best Qualifying Dissertation of 2009 in the Department of Computer Science.
