Research

My main area of interest is the application of Computational Intelligence techniques to real-world problems. My PhD research involved using Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic, Genetic Algorithms and Simulated Annealing for modelling supply chain operation, and searching for ideal inventory plans.

 

Since coming to Nottingham I've been looking at ways in which fuzzy logic can be used to help in security decision making, and Affective Computing. Affective Computing is research on `computing that relates to, arises from, or is influenced by emotion' (Picard, 1995). This approach allows us to take into account the emotions of users by tailoring the nature of the interactive experience with software, allowing it to react in an appropriate manner providing a more natural and responsive interface. For example, we might construct a video game that responds to emotional data (inferred from physiological data), altering the narrative to make the game engaging, without being frustrating. Humans also use emotion during decision making, allowing for quick `gut' reactions. By modelling this, it is possible that better decision making within computational models could be produced.

Teaching & Supervision

  • My supervisors are Uwe Aickelin and Derek Mcauley
  • This semester I'll be running labs for the G53ARB - Advanced Robotics module

Current Projects

  • GCHQ - Applying fuzzy logic to the problem of decision making.
  • VICARIOUS - Making physiological data an integral part of broadcasting in TV programming.
