I'm currently a postdoc at The University of Texas at Austin (UT), in the
Department of Computer Sciences. I work in the Learning Agents Research Group led by Peter Stone and
spend research in the general area of Machine Learning and Robotics, some of the projects I'm working on are:
I'm also a member / attendee of a few reading groups which 'may' contain some interesting papers to read:
In 2006 I received my Phd "Machine Learning on AIBO Robots" from the The University of Newcastle, Australia under the supervision of
Stephan Chalup and
Rick Middleton.
During my time at Newcastle I competed in 6 RoboCups as part of the NUbots four-legged team, finishing 1st in 2006, 2nd in 2005, 2007 and 3rd in 2002,2003 and 2004. More information can be found in my biography and by looking at my
publications.
