Research group

Agents, Interaction and Complexity

We research the science and engineering of complex systems. We focus on areas including human-machine teams and human-in-the-loop interaction.

Part of Electronics and computer science

Our work explores complex socio‐technical, socio‐economic and socio‐ecological systems.

About us

We investigate the theory behind safe, verifiable, and trustworthy autonomous systems. Our work looks at their use from smart cities to disaster response.
