Clive Boughton is an Australian computer science professor residing in Canberra, Australia.
Education
Before completing his Bachelor of Science Boughton undertook both research (at ARRB Group Limited) and industrial practice (at USL as Laboratory Manager) concerning the physical properties of soils. Boughton obtained his Bachelor of Science (applied physics) from Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University in Melbourne in 1976. After completing his Bachelor of Science he became a professional officer at the department of physics at Monash University in Melbourne where did research into the specific heat of superconducting alloys.
Career
He is a senior lecturer in the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology at the Australian National University. He is the managing director of Software Improvements Pty Limited.
He published a paper on the soil compacting properties of rollers for road-making. He published a research paper on the Fe(3-x)Mn(x)Si category of superconducting compounds/alloys as a result of his work at Monash.
Boughton began his Doctor of Philosophy at Australian National University in 1981 and began studying gaseous dynamics.
He obtained his Doctor of Philosophy in molecular physics in 1988. Boughton left the university environment to take a senior software engineering position at C3 in 1984.
Boughton was a contributor to the establishment of the Bachelor of Science Engineer degree program within Department of Computer Science/Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology. He was involved in eVACS (Electronic voting and counting), a computer system that provides for electronic voting and electronic counting for ACT Legislative Assembly elections.
lieutenant provides for counting according to the Hare-Clark electoral system rules set out in the Electoral Acting 1992.
He was involved in requirements identification and design.
Membership
He worked at several other companies, including his own, before accepting a Visiting Fellow position in the Department of Computer Science at Australian National University in 1995, eventually becoming a full-time member of the department in 2000.
