GSF New Member Interview Questions UCL

When did you start thinking about software sustainability, and what motivates you most? Could you provide some insights into the IT-related programs offered at UCL? How does sustainability fit within UCL and your programs?
How are you thinking about setting goals for improving knowledge and fostering a culture of green software development within UCL? What challenges are you anticipating? Is UCL drawing inspiration from any other Higher Ed institutions as it starts its green software journey? How does UCL hope to engage with the GSF and contribute to the green software movement? Can you highlight any partnerships or collaborations UCL is exploring to support its green software journey? What role do you envision for student-led initiatives in promoting sustainability within the college's IT and software development community? Could you share a personal vision or hope you have for the impact that UCL's involvement in the Green Software Foundation will have on the future of sustainable software development, both within the college and beyond?

We are entering a period of education where Large Language Models are everywhere, and students can make use of generative AI. However, there is still the sustainability cost. We need to metricate AI and ML models to understand better how to teach efficiency and code optimizations to our students.
