Dr Federico Castagna
Lecturer in Computer Science

Summary

Dr Federico Castagna is a Lecturer in Computer Science at Brunel University. Before joining Brunel, Federico was a Post Doctoral Research Associate in Explainable AI (XAI) at the University of Lincoln, where he was involved in CONSULT, an EPSRC project in which he worked to improve the system explainability leveraging Computational Argumentation.

Federico's Ph.D. studies in Informatics at King's College London were preceded by a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy and a Master's degree in Philosophical Sciences at the University of Milan. His research interests include Non-monotonic Reasoning, Human-computer Interactions, Explainable AI and Computational Argumentation. Federico is co-founder and editor-in-chief of the Online Handbook of Argumentation for AI (OHAAI).
