Supervisor and Student Profile
Dr Barnabas Gatsheni
Supervisor: [email protected]
Barnabas obtained a PhD in Computational Intelligence
from the University of Edinburgh in the UK and an MSc in
Electronic Engineering from the University of
Nottingham in the UK. He then worked at the University
of Essex in England as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow
between 2001 and 2004. Barnabas then worked as a
Quality Assessor at Delphi Energy and Chassis Systems in
South East England. Barnabas spent January 2016 at the
Neural Computing Research Group at Aston University in
the UK. In 2017 Barnabas visited Guy Van den Broeck of
the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and
established collaboration with him. Barnabas supervises
Masters and doctoral students. Barnabas is the head of
the Computational Intelligence Research Group.

Industry 4.0: The 4th industrial revolution, 4IR, pursues the integration
of production processes and network connectivity to facilitate
intelligent behaviour resulting in machines and corresponding
hardware exploiting embedded software capabilities to independently
exchange digital information to discover, construct, govern and
manage integral industrial processes over cognitive architectures.

Evolutionary Swarm Thinking
Department of Applied Information Systems – Intelligent Systems Research Cluster
An agent (organisation) is a particle in a computational universe, its
propensity to adapt is subject to internal and/or external factors.
Absolutely known factors can be rationalised by determinism whilst
unknown elements can be rationalised by stochastism. Sustainable
organisation reengineering should optimise contextual prevailing factors.
