About My Work

My interests lie in the area of automated planning, decision automation, probabilistic expert systems, reinforcement learning, and process automation. They encompass different tasks that allow a system (or an agent) to perform some of its tasks in an automatic or autonomous manner. More technically, my academic research spans areas such as classical and decision-theoretic planning and decision-making, preference modeling and preference elicitation, preference-based optimization, agent models, and (multi-agent) reinforcement-learning. My consulting work involves business process automation and integration, real-time event monitoring and analysis, user interfaces for e-commerce, and algorithms for autonomous exploration for NASA's rovers. See my research overview for more details.
