Dr Thom Griffith
Teams and roles for Thom Griffith
Research Associate in AI for Collective Intelligence
Overview
I am a Research Associate on the Human-Centred Design theme within the AI for Collective Intelligence (AI4CI) UKRI AI Research Hub, working with Prof. Phil Morgan (Cardiff University, School of Psychology) and Prof. Laura G. E. Smith (University of Bath, Dept. of Psychology).
I hold a PhD in Complexity Science from the University of Bristol and previously worked as a Senior Research Associate in the Dexterous Robotics group at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory, where my research focused on reinforcement learning for robotic perception and decision-making.
