I am an Assistant Professor (Universitair Docent) at the ILLC. I head the research group on Planning and Symbolic AI. I am mainly interested in solving optimisation and decision problems. As these problems are typically very complex, I focus on using symbolic AI methods to solve them in a practically efficient manner. In particular, my research is mostly focussed on AI planning, automated decisition making, complexity theory, and combinatiorial optimisation.
My main research interests are
- Hierarchical (HTN) Planning
- Planning using Symbolic Methods (SAT, BDDs)
- Lifted Planning
- Theory of Planning and its Complexity
- Domain and Action Model Learning
- Epistemic Planning
