Torrens University

Research is the cornerstone of any university and at Torrens University we have incredibly talented researchers who are committed to using their collective skills to create positive and lasting change towards a better world.

Torrens University researcher Professor Sedeyali Mirjalili has been named in The Australian’s Research 2023 magazine as Australia’s, and the world’s, top AI researcher.

As the Director of Centre for Artificial Intelligence Research and Optimisation at Torrens University, Professor Mirjalili’s research focuses on how AI can be used as a force for good in the world.

“In 2019, his papers were cited 600 times by other researchers. In 2020, that number grew to above 10,000 times. And for 2022, it already stands at more than 21,000 times. It is this stellar ­citation record that has propelled him to the top of his field.” Tim Dodd, Higher Education Editor, The Australian.

This oustanding recognition is fitting acknowledgment of both the work of Professor Mirjalili and our growing research community at Torrens University.
