Metaheuristics

Particle Swarm Optimisation On The Cartpole Problem

Initially, this project started as proving that metaheuristics can be used in control tasks. Surprisingly, I found competitive results when using PSO on the cartpole problem!

Ant Colony Optimisation and Reinforcement Learning

My Masters Thesis, an overview and comparison of ACO and RL methods with multiple experiments in deception and the traveling salesperson problem. The piece was awarded a distinction.

Computational Intelligence

Theoretical Advances and Advanced Applications

I am the primary author of the 3rd chapter of the De Gruyter publication 'Computational Intelligence: Theoretical Advances and Advanced Applications'. Titled 'Ant Colony Optimisation and Reinforcement Learning' the chapter is co-authored with Dr Michael Herrmann of the University Of Edinburgh.
