Most of the time in a team – sometimes a small team of just me and a PhD student, but other times a big team. During the Ebola epidemic in West Africa, 14 of us were working on Ebola in our group at Imperial College in London but we had colleagues in Geneva at the World Health Organization and in the affected West African countries who were working with us.

Could depend on you and on the subject, I’d say. On one hand, there are entire teams devoted to teaching robots to move around and avoid obstacles. On the other hand – in fields like maths and human-computer interaction it seems a lot of people work alone on their own specific projects, or at most work in 2-4-people teams.
