Bio

I am Professor of Computer Science at the Department of Computer Science at University College London (UCL). I lead the Intelligent Social Systems Lab. We are part of the Autonomous Systems Research Group. I am also Professor of Computer Science at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Bologna. More information about my bio, current and past appointments, etc can be found here.

Research Interests

I have broad research interests spanning several traditional and emerging areas of Computer Science and beyond. More specifically, current research areas of interest include:

• Machine Learning/Reinforcement Learning and their applications;
• Machine intelligence for ubiquitous and mobile systems, cyber-physical systems and the Internet of Things;
• Computational models (in particular, learning models) of human/user/machine behaviour.

I am interested in applications in several areas including networked systems, autonomous systems, human-AI interaction, digital health and security&privacy.

Research Opportunities

PhD Students. I am happy to discuss potential Ph.D. opportunities in my lab. I am looking for candidates with a good degree in Computer Science, Engineering or Maths/Statistics. Please feel free to contact me by email. Please include a brief description of your research interests and your curriculum vitae/transcripts in your message.

Postdoctoral Research Associates. I am also happy to discuss opportunities for joining the lab as Postdoctoral Research Associate. Please feel free to arrange a meeting to get in contact to discuss more.
