[agents] Fully Funded PhD Studentships in AI and Multi-agent Systems, at Lancaster University

[Leandro Marcolino]

Artificial Intelligence is an exciting area of research, with a great
potential impact in our society. In particular, Multi-agent Systems is a
great field, encompassing robotics, digital games, machine learning,
economics, optimisation, etc. In our laboratory, we aim at developing and
analysing real systems, where groups of agents collaborate in accomplishing
useful goals; or even compete when their goals differ. These groups may be
composed of robots, of artificial software agents, or even of a mixture of
artificial and human agents.

The School of Computing and Communications at Lancaster University has
studentships available for exceptional PhD students, from the UK, the EU,
and overseas. In particular, Dr. Marcolino supports applications for CoLab,
our Artificial Intelligence and Multi-agent Systems laboratory. Interested
applicants should check Dr. Marcolino's page at
