Hi!

I am a Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham. My current area of research is multi-agent reinforcement learning and human-machine teaming, and I collaborate with the Alan Turing Institute (ATI) and Army Research Labs (ARL).

Previously, I was a FCAI postdoctoral researcher, working in the field of Human–Computer Interaction (HCI), in the Media Labs Group (led by Prof. Perttu Hämäläinen) and User Interfaces Group (led by Prof. Antti Oulasvirta) at Aalto University.

My current research interests include reinforcement learning, decision making, behaviour modelling and intelligent interactive systems.

Projects

Optimising flow within mobility systems with Artificial Intelligence

The objective of the project is to transition complex traffic management from static systems into dynamic, optimised systems that cities manage in real-time across many types of mobility.

Touchscreen Typing As Optimal Supervisory Control

This project presents a computational model to improve touchscreen keyboard usability and design intelligent text entry solutions. We explore the effect of hand-eye coordination on typing.
