Multi-Objective Optimisation Evolutionary Computation Interactive Optimisation Explainable AI Hyper-Heuristics
University of Exeter Department of Computer Science

About

I joined the Computer Science department as Senior Lecturer in Computer Science following several years as a Lecturer at the University of Plymouth. My research interests lie on the interface between multi-objective optimisation, evolutionary computation, interactive optimisation, explainable AI, and hyper-heuristics.
