Current research interests
Diana's interests span the fields of artificial intelligence, decision making, materials, sensors and modelling & simulation. She wants to encourage the manufacturing sector to open up to AI to share best practices from other sectors, to research ways to tackle concerns (security, ethics) and to engage workers into the process. She is enthusiastic about this effort and she is looking forward to working with everyone who is seeking to advance digital intelligence in the way that AI can have a transformative impact and making sure it benefits everyone.
