Welcome to Edward Tsang's Home Page

I am an emeritus professor at the University of Essex. I co-founded the Centre for Computational Finance and Economic Agents (CCFEA) in 2002, and took up its Directorship from 1st August 2009 to 31st December 2016. I retired from the University of Essex on 1st November 2017 but remain active in research and consultancy. I have taught freelance at Traders Training Company, King's College (London), Queen Mary College (London) and University of Hong Kong.

I have broad research interest in applied artificial intelligence. My research can roughly be grouped into two overlapping areas: constraint satisfaction and computational finance and economics. Click <here> for my research home page.
