Areas of Research

Serious Games, Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality, Immersive Technologies
In my research group, we are interested in serious games: these are games and gaming-related technologies for the purpose of training, learning, and education. We integrate immersive technologies (virtual reality, eye-tracking technology) as part of the experience. We develop AI algorithms (search and machine learning) to provide adaptive and personalized experiences, and for automated content generation.
