Prof. Sara Bernardini has been elected as a member of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) Executive Council.

Prof. Sara Bernardini.

AAAI is one of the most important AI associations internationally and organises the annual AAAI conference, a premier (A*) venue for AI research.

Sara is a Professor of AI at Royal Holloway University of London, the Principal Research Scientist in AI and Data Science at the National Oceanography Centre and a Fellow at the Alan Turing Institute. Her research in decision-making for autonomous systems lies at the intersection of AI, cognitive robotics, and mathematical optimisation. Most of her work focuses on planning for single-agent and multi-agent systems to enable them to act intelligently in real time despite resource and environmental constraints, noisy or faulty sensors, imperfect abilities and extreme conditions.
