I am a professor, and Director of Research, in the Department of Computer Science at Aberystwyth University. I am also an honorary fellow at the University of Edinburgh.
My major research interests include: computational intelligence, fuzzy and qualitative systems, reasoning under uncertainty, pattern recognition, data modelling, and real-world applications of such techniques for decision support (e.g. crime detection, consumer profiling, systems monitoring, and medical diagnosis). A slightly more detailed description of my interests can be found here.
I have served as chair/co-chair/vice chair of many national and international conferences in the area of computational intelligence. One recent such service was acting as the General Chair of the 16th IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE 2007), held in London, July 23-26, 2007. The conference report of FUZZ-IEEE 2007 is published in the Computational Intelligence Magazine.
I have been invited to present a keynote address at many international conferences, including the following events in year 2009:
o International Joint Conference on Computational Intelligence (IJCCI 2009)
o World Congress on Soft Engineering (WCSE 2009)
o Global Congress on Intelligent Systems (GCIS 2009)
o International Conference on Intelligent Human-Machine Systems and Cybernetics (IHMSC 2009)
o
12th International Conference on
Rough Sets, Fuzzy Sets, Data Mining and Granular Computing (RSFDGrC09)

I
have published 2 research monographs and over 250 peer-refereed papers. Here is
a list of my recent
publications. Comments and discussion welcome.
(Contact me for details of my publications
from 1983 to 2000, if interested.)
I am scheduled, jointly with Dr Larisa Soldatova, to teach the module on Machine Learning in year 2009/2010. I am also responsible for supervision of a number of undergraduate and MSc projects this year.
