Staff Overview

​Dr Barry Bentley is a Senior Lecturer in the Cardiff School of Technologies. He completed his Ph.D. at the University of Cambridge, where he worked at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in the areas of computational neuroscience and bioinformatics. He has conducted research and consultancy work for multiple organisations including the Open University, the University of Oxford, the European Space Agency, and ARM Holdings. He currently sits on the scientific advisory and review boards of several organisations, and is a member of the Institution of Engineering and Technologies.

Teaching

Current teaching:

  • Developing Quality Software & Systems (CIS5005) 
  • Object-Oriented System Design (CIS5027)

Supervision:

  • Dr Barry Bentley welcomes expressions of interest from any prospective students or postdocs.

Research

Barry’s main research interests lie in the development and application of computational tools for biological and medical problems, with particular interest in the areas of neuroscience, ageing, and cryobiology.

Current projects include work as part of an international consortium to develop ontologies, classifications, and staging systems for senescence and age-related pathologies.
