Mark d'Inverno is an alumnus of St. Catherine's College, Oxford, where he studied for an MA in Mathematics and an MSc in Computation. He was awarded a PhD from University College London in Artificial Intelligence and is currently a professor of Computer Science at Goldsmiths, University of London. For four years between 2007 and 2011 he head of the Department of Computing [1] which has championed interdisciplinary research and teaching around computers and creativity for nearly a decade. He has published over 100 articles including books, journal and conference articles and has led recent research projects in a diverse range of fields relating to computer science including multi-agent systems, systems biology, art, design and music. He is currently the principal investigator or co-investigator on a range of projects including designing systems for sharing online cultural experiences, connecting communities through video orchestration, building online communities of music practice.

In 2011/12 he took a research sabbatical shared between the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute in Barcelona [2] and Sony Computer Science Laboratory in Paris.[3]

He is a critically acclaimed jazz pianist and composer his album Joy receiving a number of critical plaudits [4] and over the last 25 years has led a variety of successful bands in a range of different musical genres and can often be found playing in London at venues including the National Theatre, London.
