Biography

Raymond is a lecturer at Swinburne University of Technology (Sarawak Campus), Malaysia. He is currently leading the Intelligent Informatics Research Group under the Information & Security Research Lab (iSECURES Lab) at Swinburne. He is a member of ACM, IEEE Computer Society and British Computer Society (BCS). He is also a member of the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Intelligent Informatics (TCII), IASTED Technical Committee on Artificial Intelligence and IASTED Technical Committee on Modelling and Simulation. His research interests mainly lie in the field of complexity science and artificial intelligence, and he is directed at investigating the principles to dynamic modelling and analysis of behaviour of nature-inspired intelligent systems. He is currently involved in a number of projects using evolutionary computation techniques for combinatorial optimisation problems. He has published and reviewed numerous papers in the areas of computational intelligence and information retrieval/extraction.

 
Research Interests
 
1. Complexity Theory

analysis of the self-organising behaviour and emergent properties of complex adaptive systems using agent-based modelling, artificial life and cellular automata
study of the interactions of competitive/cooperative agents that lead to desirable and predictable system-wide properties
simulations and development of informatics applications to understand and control complex adaptive systems
 
2. Evolutionary Computation
investigation on the learning paradigms – adaptive learning vs. evolutionary learning through iterated prisoner’s dilemma
application of evolutionary techniques to complex system optimisation and modelling

development of evolutionary/metaheuristic techniques for applied combinatorial optimisation problems such as cutting stock problems, educational timetabling problems, shortest path problems, etc
 
3.   Others
application of machine learning techniques to named entity recognition and text classification
design and development of artificial intelligence techniques for computer games
Internet-related studies on web usability and security issues
