Biography

Calder was born Muffy Thomas on 21 May 1958 in Shawinigan, Quebec, Canada to Carmen and Lois (Hallen) van Thomas. She graduated with a BSc degree in computer science from the University of Stirling,[7] and completed a PhD in computational science at the University of St Andrews in 1987 under the supervision of Roy Dyckhoff.[8][9] She published widely under the surname Thomas prior to her marriage to David Calder in 1998.[10]

She has worked at the University of Glasgow since 1988, and was Dean of Research in the College of Science and Engineering until 2012.[11] She became Chief Scientific Adviser to the Scottish Government on 1 March 2012.[7] Previously Calder has served as Chair of the UK Computing Research Committee and Chair of the British Computer Society Academy of Computing Research Committee.[7] She became Vice-Principal and Head of College of Science and Engineering in 2015.[12] In 2015 she was appointed to the Council of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.[13]

Research

Calder summarises her research interests as "mathematical modelling and automated reasoning for concurrent, communicating systems".[14] Calder published an influential overview on the feature interaction problem,[15] with more than 300 citations at Google Scholar.[5] Her research has extended to applying computer science methods to biochemical networks and cell signalling in bioinformatics, resulting in a number of papers.[5]

Awards and recognition

Calder was appointed Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2011 New Year Honours for services to computer science[16] and Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in the 2020 Birthday Honours for services to research and education.[17]

She holds fellowships[18] of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (2000),[16] the British Computer Society (2002), the Institution of Electrical Engineers (2002) and the Royal Academy of Engineering (2013).[10][18][19]

In June 2024 Calder was awarded a DSc honoris causa by the University of St Andrews[20] in recognition of her contributions to computer science and her services to the wider scientific community.

Calder was listed as 21st most influential woman in Scotland, 2012, by The Herald.[21]
