Stephen H. Muggleton (born 6 December 1959, son of Louis Muggleton) is Professor of Machine Learning and Head of the Computational Bioinformatics Laboratory at Imperial College London.

[10] Following his PhD, Muggleton went on to work as a postdoctoral research associate at the Turing Institute in Glasgow (1987–1991) and later an EPSRC Advanced Research Fellow at Oxford University Computing Laboratory (OUCL) (1992–1997) where he founded the Machine Learning Group.

Since 2013 he holds the Syngenta/Royal Academy of Engineering Research Chair[14] as well as the post of Director of Modelling for the Imperial College Centre for Integrated Systems Biology.

[15][16][17][18][19] In this field he has made contributions to theory introducing predicate invention, inverse entailment and stochastic logic programs.

He worked on a Robot Scientist together with Ross D. King[22] that is capable of combining Inductive Logic Programming with active learning.
