The main focus of my current research activity concentrates on Computational Intelligence with a particular focus on Genetic Algorithms and optimal control problems.

Some examples of the application areas I am investigating are:

• Finding an optimal fit for collagen fibril distribution using Genetic Algorithms.
• Modelling the relationship between post-natal recovery and childbirth using Neural Networks.
• Combining Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithms to automatically generate scenes for Virtual Reality environments.
