Biography
I am a UKRI Future Leaders Fellow, working on Artificial Intelligence for Urban Traffic Management and Control. More information about the Fellowship can be found here.
I received my PhD in March 2012 from the University of Brescia, Italy. My supervisor was Alfonso Gerevini, co-supervisor Alessandro Saetti.
I worked at the planning group of the University of Brescia, as a postdoctoral research fellow, till September 2012.
In October 2012 I joined the PARK research group at the University of Huddersfield, as a research fellow in areas of automated planning. I then got a Senior Lecturership in May 2016, and moved to a Readership in August 2020, and finally got a Professorship in August 2022.
