About the Digital SIG
The Digital SIG is a group that welcomes anyone who uses digital technology in their working lives; no in-depth experience in digital tools or software is required to be a member of this SIG.

Speakers
Darius Akhavan Hezaveh, Digital SIG Co-Lead Coordinator
Lean Practitioner
University of Nottingham
I have a diverse background in the Higher Education sector, spanning roles from Welfare to Operations, and now as a Lean Practitioner focused on Continuous Improvement at the University of Nottingham. Throughout my career, I’ve embraced digital aspects, recognizing the growing importance of staying abreast of new digital innovations and ways of working.
To enhance my skill set, I’ve pursued self-learning in digital automation, and I’m currently exploring how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can optimize our operational processes. I eagerly anticipate sharing these insights with the Digital SIG and learning from fellow members to further our collective knowledge and drive continuous improvement initiatives.
Clare Baxter, Digital SIG Co-Lead Coordinator
Department Manager
University of Bath
As a former teacher turned Department Manager at the University of Bath, I bring a passion for technology and a commitment to innovation. With a background in Instructional Design and Process Automation, I believe in the power of collaboration to make things work more efficiently and am dedicated to fostering an environment where technology serves as a catalyst for positive change. My goal is to cultivate a vibrant digital community with the SIG, that’s not only accessible, but also incredibly useful for colleagues working in the sector. I’m excited to foster a group where technology is seen and used as a tool for empowerment and inclusion.
Beyond work and all things digital, I am a huge film buff and particularly admire the work of Greta Gerwig and Céline Sciamma so welcome any movie chats!
