Neil Ernst
I am associate professor of Computer Science at the University of Victoria. I am fortunate to have been born, to live, and to work on the traditional territory of the lək̓ʷəŋən peoples, and the Songhees, Esquimalt and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.
