The development of this proposal is being led by a team of experienced academics from across the University. Together we bring the broad technical and managerial skillset required to develop the CDT proposal. We’re supported by a wider team of academics from our own schools and beyond.

Many of us in the leadership team and wider support team have experience of working on geospatial artificial intelligence projects together, as can be seen in the projects showcase.

The leadership team for the development of the proposal consists of:-

  • Professor Jonathon Hare. Professor of Machine Learning, School of Electronics and Computer Science.
  • Professor Marika Taylor. Head of the School of Mathematical Sciences & Professor of Theoretical Physics, School of Mathematical Sciences.
  • Professor Blair Thornton. Professor of Marine Autonomy, School of Engineering.
  • Professor Jadu Dash. Professor of Remote Sensing, School of Geography and Environmental Science.
  • Professor Jo Slater-Jeffries. Associate Dean of Enterprise for the Faculty of Environmental and Life Sciences and Operations Director of the National Biofilms Innovation Centre.
