About

I am a postdoctoral researcher at Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology, where I am a member of the Trustworthy AI Group.

I am an AI researcher focusing on symbolic and hybrid approaches for human-level and human-centered AI in application areas like digital transformation of law and finance.

Teaching Profile and Activities

I enjoy both research-based teaching and foundational teaching. My research-based teaching focuses on advanced topics in knowledge representation and reasoning, including logic and formal argumentation in AI. Additionally, I contribute to foundational education by coordinating textbook drafting and teaching core subjects in computer science, such as discrete mathematics, propositional logic, and first-order logic.
