I am a Professor of Computer Science at the Department of Computer Science at University College London (UCL), where I lead the Machine Intelligence Lab. We are part of the UCL Centre for Artificial Intelligence and the Intelligent Systems Group. I am also Professor of Computer Science at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Bologna.

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 (in particular, decision-making problems in both single-agent and multi-agent scenarios);
• Generative Artificial Intelligence (foundational models/large language models and their applications);
• Computational models (in particular, learning models) of human/user/machine behaviour;
• Machine Learning for mobile, ubiquitous, and cyber-physical systems;
• AI and cyber-security;
• AI and society.
