Stephen H. Muggleton FBCS, FIET, FAAAI,[6] FREng[7] (born 6 December 1959) is Head of the Computational Bioinformatics Laboratory at Imperial College London.[1][8][9][10][11][12][13]

Education

Muggleton received his Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science (1982) and Doctor of Philosophy in Artificial Intelligence (1986) supervised by Donald Michie at the University of Edinburgh.[14]

Career

Following his PhD, Muggleton went on to work as a postdoctoral research associate at the Turing Institute in Glasgow (1987–1991) and later an EPSRC Advanced Research Fellow at Oxford University Computing Laboratory (OUCL) (1992–1997).[15] In 1997 he took a post at the University of York and in 2001, he moved from there to Imperial College London.

Research

Muggleton's research interests[16][9] are primarily in Artificial intelligence. From 1997–2001 he held the Chair of Machine Learning at the University of York[17] and from 2001–2006 the EPSRC Chair of Computational Bioinformatics at Imperial College in London. Since 2007 he holds the Royal Academy of Engineering Research Chair[18] as well as the post of Director of Modelling for the Imperial College Centre for Integrated Systems Biology.[18] He is known for founding the field of Inductive logic programming.[19][20][21][22] In this field he has made contributions to theory introducing predicate invention, inverse entailment and stochastic logic programs. He has also played a role in systems development where he was instrumental in the systems Duce, Golem and Progol[23][24] and applications — especially biological prediction tasks.

He worked on a Robot Scientist together with Stephen Emmott[25] that would be capable of combining inductive logic with probabilistic reasoning.[26]
