Professor Roger Whitaker
Pro Vice-Chancellor for Research, Innovation and Enterprise, Professor of Collective Intelligence
- Available for postgraduate supervision
Overview
I am the Pro Vice-Chancellor for Research Innovation and Enterprise at Cardiff University and a member of the University's Executive Board.
My personal research and innovation agenda concerns the intersection of human and machine intelligence. This has included:
- using computation and data to understand human behaviour;
- human-machine interaction and decision-making;
- the future of AI, creativity and innovation.
This work is interdisciplinary, including engineering, sociology and psychology. I am currently looking at issues including generative AI and aspects of AI and machine vision.

Research
Recent research highlights include:
- modelling the interplay between cognitive dissonance and evolution of social networks;
- one of the first computational models to further understand the important phenomenon of identity fusion;
- identifying social comparison as a fundamental computational concept for self-organisation in social dilemmas;
- understanding how prejudicial groups of artificial agents can easily establish themselves and cause disruption;
- determining common patterns of human behaviour in navigating smartphone applications "in-the-wild";
- understanding the relationship between street-level mobility and individual personality differences;
- insights into smartphone usage and addiction through user-app interactions.
I'm currently prioritising approaches to innovation through human and machine intelligence. These directions build on longstanding interests in social networks, cognition and evolutionary approaches to problem solving in engineering.
