Biography

If what you're really after is my curriculum vitae, then please follow the link and enjoy! In May, 2012, I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science at Lehigh University. I'm now at the Georgia Technology Research Institute, after having worked at GT as a research scientist / post-doc under Dr. Mark Riedl. My research interests are in the fields of plan generation and reuse, improved understandability and informability of artificial intelligence approaches, AI in games, cognitive systems, case-based reasoning and narrative computing.
