Hi, I’m Imy Khan: a researcher primarily working on artificial life, artificial intelligence, and human-robot interaction.

Research: I’m interested in nature (or bio-)inspired intelligence, self-organisation/adaptive systems/cybernetics, social and affective cognition, human-robot interaction, and the intersection of all of these things. Read more on my about me page.

Affiliations: Though I mostly work independently, I hold a number of academic affiliations: I am currently a part-time Research Fellow at the University of Warwick (UK), an Affiliated Researcher at DICE Lab at the University of Gothenburg (Sweden), and a Visiting Lecturer at the University of Hertfordshire (UK).

Other: I also try to maintain some public outreach activities for the artificial life community. I am also the Lead Coach at enactive Performance.
