Felipe Campelo is a Lecturer in Computer Science at Aston University, where he is in charge of teaching Data Mining at the undergraduate and graduate levels, as well as Data Science Programming at the graduate-level Rolls Royce Data Science Programme.

After graduating as an Electrical Engineer from Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG, Brazil) in 2003, Felipe received a Monbusho scholarship from the Japanese government to pursue his postgraduate studies in Hokkaido University, Japan, where he received first his M.Sc. (Information Science and Technology, 2006) and then his Ph.D. (Systems Science and Informatics, 2009). He then held a postdoctoral position at UFMG between 2009-10, before joining their Department of Electrical Engineering in August 2010. While at UFMG he supervised over 15 graduate students and acted as deputy head of department between 2013 and 2017.

My current research focuses on the development of integrated solution frameworks for data analytics, seamlessly connecting data mining, statistical modelling, optimisation and multi-criteria decision making.

I also focus on the development of methodologically and statistically sound protocols for the experimental comparison of algorithms, and with the development of algorithms for robust optimisation, multi/many-objective optimisation, and heavily constrained optimisation.

I am interested in the applications of data mining, statistical modelling, machine learning and optimisation to the solution of problems from a wide variety of fields. In the past I have worked mainly with applications of electromagnetic design optimisation, reliability modelling and optimisation of electrical power distribution systems, and transportation logistics. More recently I have been investigating and developing applications of machine learning to the analysis of biological sequence data.
