Dr Yingke Chen

Associate Professor

Department: Computer and Information Sciences

Yingke Chen received his PhD from Aalborg University, Denmark. He did post-doctoral research at Queen’s University Belfast, UK, and Georgia University, USA. His main research interests include artificial intelligence, machine learning, data-driven decision-making, and their applications. His research has led to national and regional research grants and publications in the Journal of AI Research, AAMAS, AAAI, and IJCAI conferences.

Alongside fundamental research, he also designs innovative solutions based on theoretical findings to address practical challenges. He has been the major contributor (PI/Co-I) of over £1.3M Innovate UK-funded projects (including Knowledge Transfer Partnerships). He works together with business partners from transportation, logistics, autonomous underwater vehicles, education, and e-commerce sectors to exploit data science and AI techniques to understand their current operations and upscale their businesses for the future.
