What is "Scientia"?
The term "Scientia" is drawn from the University's arms and reflecting the University's commitment to the promotion of all branches of intellectual and practical scholarship. The word Scientia means "knowledge based on demonstrable and reproducible data" (Merriam-Webster dictionary). The term sits at the heart of this particular PhD project.

Short Project Description
Machine-intelligence is leaving the laboratory. The question of when an artificial intelligence agent/robot can trust a human is gaining a greater practical significance than ever before. This project will extend our work on EEG for human-machine teaming and trusted autonomous systems with novel real-time machine learning models to estimate a human’s trustworthiness level during the control of a swarm of robots. The project will use an augmented virtuality environment that streams a live swarm-robotics task inside a virtual environment operated by a human. You should have a degree in computer science, mathematics or electrical engineering, and an aptitude to innovate.
Who should apply?
You should have
- First Class Honours or equivalent in cognitive science, computer science, mathematics or electrical engineering;
- Strong mathematical and programming skills;
- Interest and/or experience in analysing Human Brain Data;
- An unbounded aptitude to innovate; and
- Ability to work in a team and strive for research excellence.
How to apply?
The first screening of applicants will be done by the Principal Supervisor. Please send the following information in an email to Prof. Hussein Abbass at h.abbass "AT" adfa.edu.au and cc hussein.abbass "AT" gmail.com
