My research interests lie in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its applications to Robotics. In particular, decision making under uncertainty and gaze control. I am also interested in machine learning and neurocomputation. During my Ph.D. I worked with Dr. Jeremy Wyatt in the formulation of mathematical models of gaze control for the selection of fixation locations during manipulation actions.
