Your staff profile is made up of information taken from systems including Pure and Subscribe. This page explains how to update each section of your profile.
Profile photo Upload your profile photo in Subscribe (opens in a new tab). Your profile photo in Pure is not linked to your public staff profile. Choose a clear, recent headshot where you are easily recognisable. Your image should be at least 340 by 395 pixels.
Name To change your name or prefix title contact Ask HR (opens in new tab) If you want to update an academic title you'll need to provide evidence e.g. a PhD certificate. The way your name is displayed is automatic and cannot be changed. You can also update your post-nominal letters in Subscribe (opens in a new tab).
Job title Raise a request through ServiceNow (opens in a new tab) to change your job title (40 characters maximum) unless you're on the ERE career pathway. If you're on the ERE path you can not change your main job title, but you can request other minor updates through Ask HR (opens in new tab). If you have more than one post only your main job title will display here, but you can add further posts or roles in other sections of your profile.
Research interests (for researchers only) Add up to 5 research interests. The first 3 will appear in your staff profile next to your name. The full list will appear on your research page.

Professor Enrico Gerding is head of the Agents, Interaction and Complexity (AIC) research group in the Department of Electronics and Computer Science (ECS) at the University of Southampton. He has been an academic at Southampton since 2007. He received his PhD from the Dutch National Center of Mathematics and Computer Science (CWI) in 2004. His research focuses on artificial intelligence, specifically autonomous agents and multi-agent systems. He has more than 130 peer-reviewed publications in high quality conferences, journals and books in this area. Please see the research tab below for details. Enrico has supervised 27 PhD students to completion. He is the director of UKRI AI Centre for Doctoral Training in AI for Sustainability which trains 70 PhD students in the application of AI to improve the environment. Since 2020 he is a board member of the International Foundation for Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (IFAAMAS) which organises the annual Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (AAMAS) conference. He is also local organiser of AAMAS 2021 and AAMAS2023. He teaches the MSc modules Intelligent Agents and Computational Finance. Currently he is a co-I on several funded projects, including the EPSRC-funded AutoTrust platform grant, the Shell-funded Centre for Maritime Futures.
PhD Studentships. I'm interested in supervising motivated students in the area of AI and multi-agent systems. Please get in touch to discuss the options and potential topics. Check out the UKRI AI Centre for Doctoral Training in AI for Sustainability which has opportunities for 70 PhD students in the area of AI and environmental sustainability.

Write about yourself in the third person. Aim for 100 to 150 words covering the main points about who you are and what you currently do. Clear, simple language is best. You can include specialist or technical terms.
You’ll be able to add details about your research, publications, career and academic history to other sections of your staff profile.
My main research focuses on applications where autonomous self-interested agents compete in markets and negotiate, and where designing appropriate incentives is important to ensure a well functioning and fair society. My research combines theory, mainly game theory and mechanism design, with practical applications. Specific applications include: autonomous vehicles, the smart grid, online advertising markets, cloud computing, algorithmic trading, ride sharing and data privacy.
I'm currently an investigator on the following projects:
This EPSRC-funded platfrom grants looks at a wide range of aspects around the Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs), such as the interaction with autonomous systems (human-to-vehicle interaction), the issue of data privacy and consent, as well as the incentives and optimisation of e.g. traffic flow. Specific topics include: how do platoons form and how can they be used most effectively to improve traffic flow; how can we incentivise better use of public transport and/or shared vehicles (ride sharing); how can we best combine different modes of transport to reduce carbon emissions; how can we ensure that transportation data can be stored securely and used for research purposes; in autonomous vehicles and autonomous systems more generally, how can we reason about concepts such as responsibility and accountability especially when there is shared responsibility of a coalition (e.g. in case of a collision).
This ESRC project is led by Dr Gina Frei from the Southampton Business School and is a collaboration between ECS and the business school. The aim is to look at product returns fraud which has been aggravated due to COVID 19. Many retailers are faced with this issue. The project will consider different interventions to reduce fraud and analyse through a combination of interview studies and agent-based modelling.
This collaboration between Shell Shipping, ECS and Engineering aims to reduce carbon emissions in shipping. The ECS team is building an agent-based simulation platform to simulate trades and shipping routes, which can be used to find the most cost effective CO2 reduction measures over a long-term (5-20 years) time horizon.
