I serve as the Vice-Dean for Research and Knowledge Exchange at the School of Engineering, Physical and Mathematical Sciences, and as the Interim Director of the new Centre for AI and Skills.

My research lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence, distributed systems, and software engineering, with a focus on developing autonomous, cognitively capable, and socially aware systems. I study how intelligent agents reason, coordinate, and learn within complex environments - both virtual and real - to support robust, explainable, and ethically aligned decision-making.

My current research interests include:

• Cognitive architectures and autonomous agent models for adaptive and explainable behaviour;

• Knowledge representation, reasoning, and cognition in distributed intelligent systems;

• Game-theoretic and strategic interaction models for learning and decision-making under incomplete knowledge, limited resources, and dynamic worlds;

• Multi-agent learning and coordination strategies for decentralised intelligence;

• Organisation, governance, and regulation in artificial societies and human-AI ecosystems;

• Programmable multi-agent environments and simulation platforms for large-scale experimentation and deployment.

I apply these methods to domains such as digital markets, computational law and regulation, autonomous e-services, and game-theoretic experimentation.
