Professional Services

  • Sandra Dopico

    she/her
    DiveIn CDT Coordinator

    I manage the day-to-day running and lead the administration of the Centre, including its operations and strategic planning, marketing and communications, financial management, project reporting and governance. I am supported by a professional services team based at the Doctoral Training Hub.

    I have extensive experience supporting students in higher education, coordinating multi-partner programmes and managing research awards.

  • Andrew Todman

    DiveIn CDT External Engagement Manager

    I am the External Engagement Manager for the DiveIn CDT, and my key activities are to support the existing external partner membership and to recruit more high-quality partners from across the public, private and not for profit sectors.

    I join the DiveIn CDT from the Scotland 5G Centre where my role was the Business Engagement Manager for the South of Scotland 5G Innovation Hub based at the Crichton, Dumfries. I bring to the DiveIn CDT post over 40 years leadership and management experience from various roles including two CEO roles.

  • Pascale Watkins

    she/her
    DiveIn CDT Administrator

    As the administrator for DiveIn, I provide administrative support and contribute to the day-to-day running of the Centre. I will be your first point of contact for student, staff and partner queries relating to DiveIn and the DT Hub more widely. By supporting the external and internal communications, I will ensure a smooth and clear enquiries process across and beyond the College.

    Having just completed a Master’s degree at the University of St Andrews, I have first-hand experience being a student in Scotland’s post-graduate HE landscape. Therefore, I hope to be a  friendly face that enhances your student experience with DiveIn from start to finish.
