Academic Achievements
- Published research at leading conferences including ICRA, ECAI, and AAMAS.
- Work on KnowRob 2.0 (ICRA) is highly cited and recognized by the IEEE Technical Committee on Cognitive Robotics as one of its most important publications.
- Lead author of an AAMAS paper nominated for Best Paper Award.
- Co-led writing of a high-impact journal article published at KER.
- One of the lead authors of the SOMA ontology, providing a formal semantic model for robotic activities and environments to support reasoning and interoperability.
Research Experience
- Leading developer of KnowRob 2.0, a widely used knowledge processing framework for service robots, and designed its hybrid reasoning architecture for flexible integration of multiple reasoning methods.
- Lead developer of openEASE, a cloud-based platform providing access to robot experience data to support data-driven research and machine learning.
- Conducted research on semantic scene representation and activity recognition in VR, including human modeling, action recognition, and semantic augmentation of USD scene graphs.
- Played a key role in the CRC EASE initiative, shaping its knowledge-driven robotics agenda and contributing to funding proposals.
- Collaborated on integrating knowledge-based AI with perception, action, planning, manipulation, and human-robot interaction across multiple projects.
- Explores GPU programming and interactive AI applications using game technology and real-time graphics, particularly in relation to AI and robotics.
Background
- Aims to bridge the gap between theoretical AI research and real-world robotic applications, enabling more autonomous and semantically aware robotic systems.
- Expertise in knowledge-based reasoning, simulation, and interactive AI; passionate about developing intelligent systems that understand, learn, and adapt in dynamic environments.
- Leverages game technology and real-time graphics to enhance simulation and interaction capabilities.
- Actively contributed to international standardization as co-author of the IEEE 1872.2 standard ontology for autonomous robotics.
- Organized multiple international workshops (e.g., RobOntics, WOSRA) on knowledge representation, decision-making in social settings, and cognitive robotics.
