My Research

My research in the field of human-robot interaction (HRI) focuses on ways to optimize the collaboration between humans and robots in complex environments. I study decision-making algorithms for tasks such as robot planning, operator allocation and scheduling, and understanding human perception of robots in multi-robot multi-human HRI systems.

One of the areas I have been working on is multi-agent HRI systems, this includes the development of new approaches for decision support systems, multi-robot supervision systems and operator allocation for multi-robot assistance. I have also been involved in projects such as robot path planning in time-varying non-FIFO graphs, surveying and classifying multi-agent human-robot systems, and the effects of interruptions in multi-robot supervision tasks.

Another area of my research is investigating how to enhance the safety and reliability of HRI systems. I explore ways to enable robots to adapt to changing environments and the needs of their human partners. This includes developing new techniques for robots to be more aware of their surroundings, and to be able to react to unexpected situations in a safe and efficient way.

I believe that human-robot interaction is an area with a lot of potential for growth and development, and I am excited to be a part of it. I am constantly looking for ways to improve and to push the boundaries of what is possible in HRI. My goal is to make a meaningful contribution to the field and to help create a future where humans and robots can work together seamlessly.

My Hobbies

As much as I am passionate about my research, I also make sure to take time out for my hobbies. I am an outdoors enthusiast and I love camping and hiking. There's something about the peace and tranquility of nature that I find rejuvenating. I love the feeling of being surrounded by the beauty of the wilderness and the fresh air that comes with it. I also enjoy the physical challenge that hiking provides, and the sense of accomplishment that comes with reaching a summit.

Another hobby of mine is dancing salsa. I discovered my love for this dance form when I was in college, and I've been hooked ever since. I love the energy and passion that salsa dancing requires, and the way it brings people together. It's a great way to stay active and meet new people who share the same interests. I've had the opportunity to attend salsa festivals and workshops in different parts of the world, and it's always an amazing experience to dance with people from different cultures and backgrounds.

My hobbies and research complement each other, as both require a lot of focus, determination, and hard work. In my research, I have to be able to think critically and creatively, and I have to be able to think on my feet. My outdoor activities and salsa dancing require me to be physically and mentally fit, and they both require me to be able to adapt to changing circumstances. I believe that my hobbies have made me a more well-rounded person, and I think that they've helped me to be a better researcher.

In my free time, I love to combine my hobbies together. I love to go on camping and hiking trips, and then end the day with a salsa dance around the campfire. The combination of being in nature and dancing salsa is a perfect balance for me. It helps me to disconnect from the stress of work and to connect with the beauty of nature and the joy of dancing.

I believe that having hobbies is important for a healthy work-life balance, and I encourage everyone to make time for their passions. Whether it's camping, hiking, dancing, or something else entirely, the important thing is to find something that brings you joy and to make time for it.
