Research

I am an EPSRC Advanced Research Fellow and Professor of Computer Science at The University of Nottingham where I lead the Intelligent Modelling & Analysis Research Group (IMA). I am currently a member of EPSRC’s Complexity SAT and a member of EPSRC’s ICT SAT.  I have also acted as an EPSRC IDEAS Factory mentor and as a keynote speaker for various national and international conferences, including ICARIS, TradeTech and EPSRC’s Early Career Workshop for ICT. In addition to this, I am an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation, the Assistant Editor of the Journal of the Operational Research Society, an Editorial Board member of Evolutionary Intelligence. I have authored over 100 papers in international journals and conferences and participated in over 50 international Conference Programme Committees.

My research started in 1995 through two optimisation projects at the University of Mannheim (the leading German Business School). There I also gained a Business Science degree (Diplomkaufmann in Betriebswirtschaftslehre). In addition, I was awarded a European Master degree in Business Science, only given to the top 1% of students each year. In 1999, I completed a PhD in Computer Science (AI) within 2½ years of starting at the University of Wales (Swansea) where I also worked as a teaching assistant. Since then I have held lectureships in Mathematics at the University of the West of England and in Computer Science at the Universities of Bradford and Nottingham.

In total, I have been awarded £3 million EPSRC research funding as Principal Investigator and £13 million as Co-Investigator. I have worked almost my entire research career in cross-disciplinary fields, including my Advance Fellowship on immune-inspired security (EP/D071976/1), leading EPSRC’s largest Adventure grant on Danger Theory (GR/S47809/01), investigating immunology for robots (EP/E003257/1), understanding complexity and agent-based simulation to reduce energy consumption (EP/G05956X/1 and EP/I000496/1), two IDEAS factory projects on modelling and simulation of Cargo Screening and Management Practices (EP/G004234/1 and EP/D503949/1) and leading two EPSRC networks on Productivty and Artifical Immune Systems (EP/D036623/1 and GR/S56627/01). I am also a Co-Investigator of Nottingham's Digital Econmoy Hub - Horizon (EP/G065802/1).

A summary of my current research interests is Modelling, Artificial Intelligence and Complexity Science for Data Analysis, using methodologies such as:

  • Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) and Computational Modelling of the Immune System
  • Intrusion Detection, Computer Security and Anomaly Detection
  • System Dynamic, Agent Based and Discrete Event Simulation of Complex Systems
  • Genetic and other Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs, GAs)
