Biography

My main research interests focus on Computational Intelligence applied to Computer Games including Artificial Intelligence combined with Human-Computer Interaction. I have been involved in research on Interactive Storytelling which led to the development of several interactive systems which have won several awards.

I completed a PhD in Computer Science, entitled “Intelligent Virtual Actors in Interactive Storytelling”, which had an emphasis on Artificial Intelligence techniques but also covered areas of Computer Graphics and Human Computer Interaction applied to Computer Games Technologies. I have a BSc in Computer Science, followed by a Master’s degree in Computer Aided Graphical Technology Applications.

Research

My research interests include: Artificial Intelligence, Human-Computer Interaction, Narrative Systems, Interactive Storytelling, Virtual Reality, Computer Games.
