About me

I am assistant professor at the department of Knowledge Engineering at Maastricht University. Before, I was postdoc at the swarmlab, working with Karl Tuyls and Gerhard Weiss, and postdoctoral associate in the learning and intelligent systems group (LIS) at MIT, where worked with Leslie Kaelbling I obtained my PhD at the university of Amsterdam under the guidance of Frans Groen and Nikos Vlassis.

I try to generate fundamental knowledge about algorithms and models for complex tasks. In addition, I think about how such abstract models might be applied to challenging real-world tasks such as collaboration in multi-robot systems, optimization of traffic control systems, intelligent e-commerce agents, etc.

Research interests

My main interests lie in the field of decision making under uncertainty and multiagents systems. I have great interest in related fields such as planning, reinforcement learning, optimization, machine learning, graphical models, probabilistic inference and game theory.
