Welcome

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the RobotLearn Team (headead by Xavier Alameda-Pineda) at Inria Grenoble, France.
In the team, I am leading the "Learning Robot Behavior" work package of the European H2020 SPRING project (Socially Pertinent Robots in Gerontological Healthcare) where we investigate Deep Reinforcement Learning methods and their application to robotics.

My research interests are Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Cognitive Science. My main focus is learning mechanisms. I am fascinated by the impressive learning abilities of humans and animals. We are able to adapt efficiently to new and diverse environments and tasks. I want to develop learning algorithms, which allow artificial systems such as robots to have similar learning abilities. I believe one way of achieving this goal is to use the principles behind the learning mechanisms of our brains.

Here is a list of research fields in which I am active:

• Artificial Intelligence

• Machine Learning

• Reinforcement Learning

• Deep Learning

• Evolutionary Algorithms

• Optimization Algorithms

• Transfer Learning

• Cognitive Science

• Cognitive Modeling

My research page lists some of my ongoing and completed research projects.

A chronological list of papers and other documents is on my publications page.
