Fabio Caraffini

Associate Professor in Artificial Intelligence · Swansea University, UK

I currently serve as an Associate Professor of Artificial Intelligence at Swansea University, where my work centres on fundamental research in optimisation and machine learning alongside their applications to interdisciplinary problems.

My academic background includes a Ph.D. in Mathematical Information Technology from the University of Jyväskylä, Finland (2016), preceded by a Ph.D. in Computer Science from De Montfort University, U.K. (2014). Earlier, I earned an M.Sc. in Informatics & Telecommunications Engineering (2011) and a B.Sc. in Electronics Engineering (2008), both from the University of Perugia, Italy.

I am the founding counsellor of the Swansea IEEE Student Branch and the Foundation and Methods for Modelling, Data Science and AI theme lead within the Zienkiewicz Institute.

Contact: Room 219 (second floor), Computational Foundry, Bay Campus, Swansea University.
