My research focuses on building AI systems that can effectively interact with and explain their decisions to human users. Central to my work is the idea that good interactions require reasoning about the user’s perspective — their knowledge, beliefs, and goals — in order to not only reconcile differences in understanding but also to collaborate effectively on shared tasks. I approach these problems using ideas and tools from knowledge representation & reasoning (argumentation, formal logic, planning), neurosymbolic AI, cognitive psychology, and philosophy.

Prior to joining NMSU, I completed my PhD at the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis, supervised by the amazing William Yeoh. Within a preceding historical epoch, I received a MSc. in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Southampton (UK), supervised by Long Tran-Thanh, a MSc. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Glasgow (UK), supervised by Radostin Simitev, and finally a BSc. in Statistics and Actuarial-Financial Mathematics from the University of the Aegean (GR), supervised by Nikolaos Kavallaris.
