This research course covers the following topics are: Software and Systems Engineering, Computational Neuroscience and Biomedical Engineering, Evolutionary Systems, Machine Learning and Computational Intelligence. Computational Neuroscience and Biomedical Engineering: we research applications and methods of computational modelling and analysis with the aim to understand how neural systems work and to design engineering solutions for biomedical problems that involve abnormal or lacking neural control. Evolutionary Systems: we work on the development and analysis of neuroevolutionary systems to advance understanding of the capacity of evolutionary processes to generate increasingly intelligent behaviours in virtual creatures. Software and Systems Engineering: we research methods for designing and creating complex systems and products, with a focus on evidence based engineering, user centred design and analytics. Machine Learning and Computational Intelligence: we research the development and application of machine learning and computational intelligence methods to address biomedical and engineering problems characterised by large volumes of complex data.
