Dr Clive Boughton
Technical Director (and Chairman of the Board) at Software Improvements, and Adjunct Assoc. Professor, CECS

As a professional, Dr Clive Boughton possesses over thirty years of practical experience in varying roles as scientist, engineer, software engineer, consultant, and project and company manager. His collective experiences have given him the opportunity to observe/research/manage and participate in commercial, defence and scientific software projects including native and embedded applications using contemporary techniques, languages and management methods.
Clive held a full time academic position at ANU from 2000 – 2010 during which time he developed the final touches to the (then) new Bachelor of Software Engineering. He also fully developed the Masters in Software Engineering, the remnants of which still exist in the MCOMP program. Clive is an adjunct associate professor at both the ANU and UQ.
Although Clive could now retire from working life, he insists on continuing to work in industry with both offering his expertise and learning more of today’s approaches to software engineering.
