research

My research interest is in artificial intelligence, where I develop methods based on decision theory, constraint programming, and heuristic search and apply them on agent-based systems. More recently, my research has focused on enabling human-AI collaboration through human-aware decision-making algorithms. The word cloud above has been obtained using Word Art on the abstracts of my papers.
