Tristan Henderson

Welcome to my website. I am a Senior Lecturer in the School of Computer Science at the sunny University of St Andrews in Scotland. Once upon a time I was interested in economics, then various types of networks (wired, wireless, opportunistic, social), but these days I am mostly interested in the intersection of ethics, technology law and privacy. Basically I am interested in lots of things!
Before coming to St Andrews, I was at Dartmouth, along with the actual scientist in our household. Before that, I was a student at UCL and Cambridge. Before that, I grew up in Singapore (and you will find that I use this for many teaching examples if you ever take one of my modules!). And at some point along the way I disappeared from St Andrews for a year to study a wee bit further south.
Answers to common queries:
- If you are interested in doing a PhD with me, see here.
- If you need a reference, see here.
- If you see “computer science” and think that I can help to fix your computer, please look elsewhere! My special powers mean that I can break it without even touching it.
- If you are wondering why I haven’t replied to your e-mail about your doctor’s appointment or purchase order for medical equipment, it is because you are looking for ynhh.org rather than tnhh.org (T is very close to Y on a QWERTY keyboard).
