Assistant professor in artificial intelligence

My main research interests are automated planning and its connections to machine learning.

I am assistant professor in artificial intelligence at the Department of Computer and Information Science. Together with Hector Geffner and Ulf Nilsson, I lead the "Representation, Learning and Planning" lab in the AIICS division. 

CV (in brief)

Short bio

I received my MSc in computer science from the University of Freiburg, Germany, in December 2012. In March 2018, I completed my PhD under the supervision of Professor Malte Helmert with the Artificial Intelligence group at the University of Basel, Switzerland. Afterwards, I stayed on as a postdoc until I became assistant professor at Linköping University, Sweden, in January 2021.
