Accepting PhD Students

PhD projects

I am happy to supervise PhD projects in the broad areas of Computational Intelligence, Artificial Life, Evolutionary Algorithms, and Agent-Based Systems. Specific projects would include studies of cognitive- and biologically-inspired methods for agent behaviour, modelling and understanding of agent behaviours and interactions in shared environments, modelling real-world scenarios such as traffic management systems to improve efficiency and coordination of entities within the system, managing individual goals in collective environments, etc.
