PhD (Katholieke Universiteit Nijmegen), MSc (Katholieke Universiteit Nijmegen), BSc (University of Queensland)
Peter Bruza's research spans the fields of information retrieval, applied logic, and cognitive science. His current research lies within the area of Quantum Cognition, which aims to develop new understandings of human cognition by applying the conceptual framework and mathematical structures used in quantum physics. Applications of this research include how humans make judgements of trust in relation to AI systems, and promotiong effective human-machine shared decision-making (Funded by the US Airforce)
Additional information
The end user benefits of my research stem from the development of an interactive query reformulation mechanism designed to help users clarify their information needs. The associated software was licensed to National Security Agency, the U.S. Patents Office, SAP and a variety of Australian state and federal government departments and promoted the search effectiveness of tens of thousands of users. In 2006, my expertise in interactive query formulation was called on to settle a patent infringement case between IBM and Amazon.
