Areas of Research

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