Student Biography: I'm a first year PhD student, undertaking a project in collaboration with Siemens Mobility on "Artificial Intelligence and Mechanism Design for Optimal Routing of Connected and Autonomous Vehicles". I am supervised by Dr Stein and Dr Gerding within the School of Electronics and Computer Science at the University of Southampton. Prior to undertaking a PhD, I graduated from the University of Southampton with a BSc in Computer Science. 

I am particularly fascinated by the field of intelligent traffic management, including, but not limited to the applications of reinforcement and deep learning in traffic systems - it is estimated that 46,447,500 (83%) of the United Kingdom population live in urban areas where road traffic congestion is a major factor to poor air quality for individuals which is associated with increased morbidity from respiratory diseases. In 2017, commuters in London lost on average 227 hours and £1,680 due to congestion and the total cost of congestion to the UK was approximately £8 billion.

Supervisors: Dr Sebastian Stein, Dr Enrico Gerding

Human-Centred AI

Human-Centred AI (HCAI) is a transformative research agenda focused on creating intelligent systems that are embedded in complex human social and organisational environments.

Machine Learning

Machine learning is the science and art of extracting useful information from large and complex datasets.

Human Systems Interaction

Human Systems Interaction (HSI) is an evolution of the study of Human Computer Interaction (HCI), which has primarily focused on the interface between “the computer” and a person.

Digital Health

The incremental digitisation of our physical world is creating news ways to connect, aggregate and disaggregate digital representations of human health.

Computer Engineering

There is an increasing need for research at the intersection of computer science and electrical engineering.

Automation and Robotics

Our research into Automation and Robotics develops novel technologies for embodied, autonomous systems deployed in complex, dynamic and uncertain environments.
