About

I am a PhD candidate at the School of Computer Science & Information Technology at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. My research focus is in improving the adaptability of BDI agent systems in dynamic environments through the integration of learning capabilities. In particular, I am interested in how agents could make better plan choices based on ongoing experience. This research is partially funded by The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation. Prior to commencing my PhD in 2007, I was developing high end simulators for Digital Signal Processors at Freescale Semiconductor (formerly part of Motorola).

A somewhat extended profile of me is available at CSIRO and at LinkedIn.
