Engineering applications of intelligent systems. Research focuses on Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), Genetic Algorithms (GAs), Fuzzy Logic (FL), and Neuro-Fuzzy Systems (NFS). Applications areas include sensors, computer networks, as well a number of manufacturing and medical techniques. 

Intelligent Systems have been applied to many problems in Communications and Signal Processing such as:

• [Paper] J. Yang, H. Singh, E. L. Hines, F. Schlaghecken, D. D. Iliescu, M. S. Leeson and N. G. Stocks, “Channel Selection and Classification of EEG Signals: A Neural Network and Genetic Algorithm-based approach”, Artificial Intelligence in Medicine, vol. 55, no.2, pp.117-126, 2012.

Historically, these activities were led by Professor Evor Hines but he has recently retired so enquiries concerning this still active area of research should be made to Dr Mark Leeson.
