My main research interests are in swarm intelligence, swarm robotics and continuous optimization. I focus on developing novel algorithms for generating scalable, intelligent behaviour in swarms of very limited capacity, individuals on frameworks for complex task-allocation in spatially distributed swarms. I am also interested in how hetrogeneity and dynamics can be used to improve the design of collective systems.
