Steve Benford

I am a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Nottingham’s Mixed Reality Laboratory and a UKRI Turing AI Fellow. My research explores the design of interactive experiences that provoke human meaning making. My approach is to collaborate with artists to create, tour and study artworks from which I generalise new concepts, methods and tools. Technically, my research encompasses and interweaves AI, robots, and mixed reality. I am currently working on a five year UK Turing AI Fellowship on “Somabotics: Creatively Embodying Artificial Intelligence”.
