Graham Kendall is a Professor of Computer Science at The University of Nottingham. He is a member of the Automated Scheduling, Optimisation and Planning (ASAP) Research Group within the School of Computer Science.

He is a member of the EPSRC Peer Review College (2003-2008) and a Fellow of the Operational Research Society.

He is an Associate Editor of six international journals. He has been a member of the programme/technical committees of over 100 international conferences. He is the author of over 90 refereed papers and has co-edited (or is co-editing) 10 books.

He chairs the Programme and Organising Committee of the international [MISTA Conference Series]. He also co-chaired the inaugural IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence and and Games in 2005 (held at The University of Essex, UK), and also chaired the second conference in Reno, Nevada, USA in 2006. In 2007, he co-chaired the first IEEE Symposium of Computational Intelligence and Scheduling (Hawaii, USA).

Professor Kendall has supervised ten PhD students to completion, and is currently supervising a further ten PhD students.

His research interests include scheduling (particularly sports scheduling), cutting and packing, optimisation in general, meta-heuristics, hyper-heuristics, game intelligence.

Before entering academia, Professor Kendall worked in the IT industry for fifteen years, holding a variety of technical and managerial positions.
