Background

Biography

In my research group, we are interested in serious games: these are computer games and gaming-related technologies for the purpose of training and education. We deploy immersive technologies (virtual reality, eye-tracking technology).

We examine AI techniques to provide adaptive and personalized experiences, and for automated natural language generation.
