Director of the Centre for Machine Intelligence (CMI)
REF Champion for Computer Science
Dr Enrico Gerding is an Associate Professor in the Agents, Interaction and Complexity (AIC) research group in the Department of Electronics and Computer Science (ECS) at the University of Southampton. He has been an academic at Southampton since 2007. He received his PhD from the Dutch National Center of Mathematics and Computer Science (CWI) in 2004. His research focuses on artificial intelligence, specifically autonomous agents and multi-agent systems. He has more than 100 peer-reviewed publications in high quality conferences, journals and books in this area. Please see the research tab below for details. Enrico has supervised 19 PhD students to completion. He is the director of Southampton's Centre for Machine Intelligence which brings together AI expertise in ECS. Since 2020 he is a board member of the International Foundation for Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (IFAAMAS) which organises the annual Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (AAMAS) conference. He is also local organiser of AAMAS 2021. He teaches the MSc module Intelligent Agents (see below for more details on teaching). Currently he is a co-I on several funded projects, including the EPSRC-funded AutoTrust platform grant, the Shell-funded Centre for Maritime Futures.
PhD Studentships. I'm interested in supervising motivated students, and there are plenty of opportunities for fully funded studentships. Note that most studentships only fund UK fees. So if you are an international student without permanent residance (or pre-settled) status, you may have to cover the difference between UK and international fees. For Chinese students, there are various collaborations with the CSC scholarship scheme and it's worth looking into this. Please get in touch to discuss the options and potential topics.
