Research Interests
My main research interests are in the area of Artificial Intelligence and include areas of machine learning, planning, and problem representation. In particular, I am interested in various techniques for machine learning, especially reinforcement learning. In addition I have been working in the area of search, planning, and problem representation increasingly in the last few years.
