About
Overview
I am the Director of the Artificial Intelligence Research Centre (CitAI) where we specialise in the intersection between the development of novel AI techniques, Explainable AI (XAI) and Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). I am a member of City St George's Senate, Co-Chair of the university's AI Accelerator and Change (AICC) Research Strand and the University Acacemic Liaison with the Alan Turing Institute.
Research interests
- Reinforcement learning and creativity
- Category theory and representational learning
- AI ethical, legal and socio-economic impact
- Philosophy and history of AI
I have published over 150 papers in high impact journals and in proceedings of first-class conferences in Artificial Intelligence. I have also contributed to The Cambridge Handbook of Artificial Intelligence (Cambridge University Press), the Handbook of Reinforcement Learning and Approximate Dynamic Programming for Feedback Control (Wiley-IEEE), and NFTs, Creativity and the Law (Routledge). One of my papers in the IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems was spotlighted by the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society as one of the best papers on neural networks and learning systems. I have won the First Prize of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) ICT Labs Idea Challenge on Smart Energy Systems.
During my career, I have secured funding from UK Research Councils, the European Commission, industry, and charities. I also collaborate with our American partners in various NSF projects. In the last years, I have gained over £5M from, among others, Innovate UK (in collaboration with companies in the creative industries, DeepReel and Prime Focus Technologies), EU EIT-Digital (in partnership with companies in the automotive and financial sectors, Bosch ASS and Lumera, respectively), the European Commission, the Alan Turing Institute, DSTL and MBDA.
Currently, I have supervised over 20 PhD students.
PhD students welcome!
Please contact me if you are interested in doing a PhD in the areas above.
Requirements: Good programming skills (preferably but not limited to Python) and expertise in two of the following areas: deep learning, control and optimisation, dynamic systems, neuroscience. Applicants would also need to have a strong mathematical background and … be creative!
