Greenwich staff visit Goldsmiths colleagues for solidarity, with poetry, music and dance! ucugreenwich Goldsmiths UCU #UCUstrike #UCUstrikesback

If (digital) picketing or self-isolating and want to read a book, *Bullshit Jobs* is certainly recommended!

Could it get more interesting?

If you're in lockdown and looking for something to read, may I suggest our book "The Art of Coding" which has just been released. Perfect timing 🙃 #COVID19 #UCUStrike. The book is dedicated to our students CRC Press T&F STEM University of Greenwich Information Corner amzn.to/33jCZ1m

Dr Doug Clow, who spent 20 years at the Open University and now advising universities on the coronavirus, says: “It is a huge challenge to suddenly switch to online teaching. It takes the Open University more than a year to develop an online course.” theguardian.com/education/2020…

Absolutely agree - I urge caution in describing what is happening in universities as a shift to online learning. Also, we really need to see a more considered understanding of the student experience. Stay with me for some thoughts... #PivotToOnline #onlinelearning #COVID2019uk

‘Try and get this lecture done, and I’m already on take 4.’ Genius! m.youtube.com/watch?v=CCe5Pa…

If you’re looking for a good book on graphics, drawing, and animation, check out “The Art of Coding!” Happy to support Mohammad M al-Rifaie, one of my professors at Goldsmiths University who co-wrote the book. Mine arrived today courtesy of Amazon 🙂 #support

University of Greenwich UCU showed the essence of solidarity and togetherness to defend education and respect for staff and students throughout the #UCUstrikes. This union of colleagues and friends is unbreakable! #PicketLine #digitalPicketLine #ProudToBeGre

The trade off between exploration and exploitation is one of the key challenges in #evolutionary & #swarm systems. My recent article investigates these core concepts through a minimalist swarm optimiser Entropy MDPI #OpenAccess mdpi.com/1209372

New Scientist magazine features one of our two GECCO 2026 work: newscientist.com/article/231918… princess glitter sparkes The second research, on nuclear imaging and Swarm Intelligence (how flies help reconstruct images from ray projections), will be out in July in Boston, USA.

In the darkness of HE, UCU is RISING. Using swarm intelligence to artistically draw our collective efforts #ucuRISING UCU ucugreenwich

Funded PhD at the University of Greenwich. Topic is centred on swarm intelligence and tomographic reconstruction. The research will pioneer the development of new class of population algorithms tailored for few-view tomographic reconstruction. #AI #phd docs.gre.ac.uk/__data/assets/…

Tune in today at 16:30 for a BBC Radio 4 programme (The Digital Human -- Generate) where my colleagues and I discuss AI, creativity and arts. The programme will be available after the broadcast here: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00… #AI #AIArtwork #Creativity #Philosophy

Happy to announce that our paper "Tomographic Reconstruction with Search Space Expansion" is accepted for GECCO 2026 See you in Lisbon 🇵🇹 #GECCO2023

Here's a swarm algorithm celebrating the successful finale of GECCO 2023 GECCO 2026 with thanks to Sara Silva & Leonardo Vanneschi
