Dr Mireilla Bikanga Ada

  • Lecturer (Computing Science)

Biography

I am a Lecturer in the School of Computing Science at the University of Glasgow, where I have worked since September 2018, and a member of the Education and Practice (EAP) research section. I lead on student transition within the School, with a focus on supporting students entering through diverse pathways and enhancing their academic and social integration.

Prior to joining the University of Glasgow, I held Lecturer posts at INTO Glasgow Caledonian University (January–August 2018) and Glasgow Clyde College (2014–2018), where I taught Computing and supported international and college learners.

My academic background is interdisciplinary. I completed a PhD at the University of the West of Scotland, where my research focused on feedback delivery methods, particularly the use of mobile technology to support assessment feedback in higher education.
