Imy Khan, Ph.D.
Researcher in Artificial Life & Artificial Intelligence
Hi, I'm Imy Khan: a researcher primarily working on artificial life, artificial intelligence, and human-robot interaction. I'm interested in nature (or bio-)inspired intelligence, self-organisation/adaptive systems/cybernetics, social and affective cognition, and the intersection of all of these things. I am currently a Teaching Fellow at the University of Warwick, an Honorary Research Fellow in Psychology at Warwick, an Affiliated Researcher at DICE Lab (University of Gothenburg), and a Visiting Lecturer at the University of Hertfordshire.
