Andrew Stranieri

Andrew Stranieri Associate Professor, is the Director of the Centre for Informatics and Applied Optimisation in the School of Science, Information Technology, and Engineering at the University of Ballarat. He adapted his training in psychology and counselling experience to inform his research into cognitive models of argumentation and artificial intelligence. With co-author Professor John Yearwood, he developed the Generic/Actual Argument Model (GAAM). This research was instrumental in modelling decision making in refugee law, copyright law, eligibility for legal aid, sentencing, and research ethics developed by a spin-out company he managed. His research in health informatics spans data mining in health, complementary and alternative medicine informatics, telemedicine, and intelligent decision support systems. He is the author of over 100 peer reviewed journal and conference articles and books.
