Francesca Toni is an Italian computer scientist who works at Imperial College London in the UK as JP Morgan/Royal Academy of Engineering Research Chair in Argumentation for Interactive Explainable AI, Professor in Computational Logic in the Department of Computing, and head of the Computational Logic and Argumentation Group.[1] Her research interests include explainable artificial intelligence, computational logic, argumentation theory, and applications in public health.
Education and career
[edit]Toni is originally from "a small town in Tuscany." Initially intending to go into mathematics, she switched to computer science in her last year of high school.[2] She has a laurea (the Italian equivalent of a master's degree) from the University of Pisa, earned in 1990, and completed a doctorate from Imperial College London in 1995.[3][4] Her dissertation, on abductive logic programming, was supervised by Robert Kowalski.[5]
After working as an intern in Japan and as a postdoctoral researcher in Greece,[2] she returned to Imperial College as a lecturer in 2000.[4] She was appointed as JP Morgan/Royal Academy of Engineering Research Chair in Argumentation in 2020.[1]
