I have worked with Design Automation since 2007. My earlier research focused on Knowledge-Based Engineering, parametric CAD, multidisciplinary optimisation and automated product development.
Recent advances in artificial intelligence have significantly expanded what can be automated. My current research therefore combines traditional engineering automation with large language models, agent-based systems, digital twins, computer vision, machine learning and structured knowledge representations.
I am particularly interested in systems where AI does not operate as an isolated black box. Instead, language models are combined with explicit data structures, engineering models, tools and validation mechanisms.
