Biography
Marion Hersh obtained an M.A. in mathematics from Cambridge University in 1977 and a PhD in control from UMIST in 1985. At this point she was already working as research assistant with the infamous Gawthrop at the University of Sussex. This was followed by a brief period in the Industrial Control Unit at the University of Strathclyde. However she soon saw the light and moved to the University of Glasgow where she has been a lecturer in the Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering since 1986.
