I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Chalmers University of Technology. I am affiliated with the Division of Data Science and AI. My research interests center around planning and decision making in multi-agent systems. I often consider planning under uncertainty (e.g., MDPs, MMDPs, CMMDPs) and game theory and mechanism design (e.g., auctions). I am particularly interested application to multi-robot systems and mixed, human-and-robot systems.
Prior to joining KTH, I was a Digital Futures Postdoctoral Fellow at KTH Royal Institute of Technology where I worked with Jana Tumova in the Division of Robotics, Perception and Learning. I was affiliated with the WASP-Nest Project on Perceiving and Communicating Correct-by-Design Sociably Acceptable Autonomous Systems (PerCorSo) and the Vinnova Center on Trustworthy Edge Computing Systems and Applications (TECoSA).
I received my PhD from the University of Oxford in 2023. My thesis was entitled “Resource Allocation for Constrained Multi-Agent Systems” and was supervised by Nick Hawes and Michael Wooldridge. Prior to that, I received my MSc in Applied Mathematics from the London School of Economics. I received my BA in Mathematics and my BS in Computer Science from Washington University in St. Louis.
