I am a professor, and Pro Vice-Chancellor (for Faculty of Business and Physical Sciences) at Aberystwyth University.
I am a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering and a Fellow and Council Member of the Learned Society of Wales (the national academy of Wales). I was a member of UK Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021 Sub-panel 11: Computer Science and Informatics and also, a panel member for REF 2014.
Very proudly, I was a London 2012 Olympic Torch Relay torchbearer, nominated to carry the Olympic torch in celebration of the centenary of Alan Turing.
I am the recipient of the 2024 IEEE Computational Intelligence Society Fuzzy Systems Pioneer Award.
My research interests include: computational intelligence, reasoning and learning under uncertainty, pattern recognition, data mining, and real-world applications of such techniques for intelligent decision support (e.g., crime detection, space exploration, consumer profiling, systems monitoring, and medical diagnosis).
I am privileged to have worked with many colleagues who have made considerable contributions to the research I have been engaged with. These colleagues include:
Co-authors of published papers
I have been involved in many professional activities, nationally and internationally. E.g., I have served as chair/co-chair/vice chair of, and presented a keynote lecture at, numerous national and international conferences, and I have been a long-serving associate editor/editorial board member of the following leading international journals amongst several others:
IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems (2003-2022, 2024)
IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, Part B: Cybernetics (since 2005)
Fuzzy Sets and Systems (since 2002)
I have published three research monographs and over 500 peer-refereed
papers. A number of my papers have received prestigious international prizes,
including one Outstanding IEEE Transactions Paper Award. Here is a list of my recent
publications (after REF 2021). Comments and discussion welcome.
