About Simon Hollis

Brief Bio

Simon Hollis is a Lecturer in Computer Science at the University of Bristol, with particular interests in microelectronics, VLSI design, and security architectures (see my Research Interests page).

Education

Under the supervision of Dr Simon Moore, he undertook a PhD entitled Pulse-based, On-chip Interconnect at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory. He also holds an MA (Hons) in Computer Science from the same institution.

Research

I am a member of the Languages and Architectures group

here in the Department of Computer Science, University of Bristol.

I also lead the Many-core Research Project, here in the Department of Computer Science.

I have a separate page which describes in detail my current research interests.

UK Async Forum

I am hosting this year's UK Async Forum, here at Bristol. Those interested in attending this UK-based academic workshop, are invited to visit the website.

Publications

See my publications page, and the departmental publications page

Teaching

I teach the following course units for the Computer Science Batchelor's and Master's courses:

COMS12303: Origins of Computer Science (Unit Director and Lecturer)

COMS30201: System Integration (Unit Director and Lecturer)

Admissions

I am one of the departments Undergraduate Admissions Tutors, and would be happy to answer any questions from interested applicants. However, in the first instance, please contact our Undergraduate Admissions Co-ordinator, Caroline Higgins with any queries. Contact details and course information are available at our admissions website.

Computer Science and Electronics (CSE)

I am the Acting Course Director for our Computer Science and Electronics (CSE) joint degree programme, held jointly between the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

(Note that this course has recently undergone a name change: it was previously known as "Computer Systems Engineering.")

Local (BS8) Weather

I run an experimental weather station, housed here at the Department of Computer Science. We are currently trialing some software to display the local weather. Recent measurements (updated every minute) and a forecast for the department can be found here. The system is still very much experimental, so no guarantee of accuracy or even the functioning of the web-server is given (and the wind direction measurement is off by a constant factor of approximately 180 degrees).
