Ph.D.
I'm currently Assistant professor at University of Plymouth. Prior to this role, I held the position of Senior Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Personal Robotics Lab (PRL) at Imperial College London (ICL). My academic journey includes the attainment of a Ph.D. in Automatic Control, Robotics, and Computer Vision from the Institute of Industrial and Control Engineering (IOC) at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). My research endeavors center on task and motion planning, intelligent perception, knowledge representation, neuro-symbolic reasoning, human-robot interaction, collaborative efforts between robots, transfer learning across diverse contexts, as well as the interpretation and recovery mechanisms for failure detection.
As an Open Source Product Manager of the "Autonomous Robots" subgroup within the IEEE WG ORA, I contribute to the standardization of ontologies for robotics and automation. Presently, I'm engaged in the SemIoP Expert group, utilizing ontologies in IoT applications.
Moreover, I expand my research interests to encompass diverse domains. Serving as a consultant for a stealth start-up based in London, I lead a team focused on investigating the RAG system and Generative AI, with a particular emphasis on applications in the healthcare and financial sectors.
