I am a Research Fellow at University of Melbourne. Previously, I was a PhD candidate at the Artificial Intelligence Group,Universitat Pompeu Fabra, under the supervision of Hector Geffner.
My reasearch is in the area of Automated Planning, with a special focus on how to introduce different approaches to the problem of inference in planning.
