Dr Emmanuel Tadjouddine

I am currently 

• Associate Professor in Computing
• Stream Representative for UG Computing

Prior to this role, I worked at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, University of Aberdeen, and Cranfield University (the Royal Military College of Science now Defense Academy of the UK). I have earned a PhD in Computer Science at the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis, France.

My research interests concern

• Algorithmic Differentiation and its application to numerical methods such as sensitivity analysis, optimisation, financial computing, and Machine Learning algorithms.
• Electronic markets in particular the design and verification of auction mechanisms
• Computer Science education
