Anthony Hunter: Background

I have a BSc (1984) from the University of Bristol, and an MSc (1987) and a PhD (1992) from Imperial College, London which was supervised by Dov Gabbay. I was a research fellow at the IT Research Institute at the Univesity of Brighton from 1987 to 1989, and a research associate in the Department of Computing at Imperial College, London, from 1989 to 1996. Since 1996, I have been in the Department of Computer Science at University College London. Currently, I am Professor of Artificial Intelligence, and head of the Intelligent Systems Research Group, in the UCL Department of Computer Science.

My research interests are in the area of knowledge representation and reasoning which is a branch of artificial intelligence. The focus of my research is in the subject of inconsistent knowledge. More generally, I am interested in the inter-related topics of Computational Models of Argumentation; Knowledge merging and aggregation; and Measuring and analysing inconsistency.
