/ RESEARCH PROFILE /
Artificial and Human Intelligence / Human-Centred AI. Cognitive Technologies. >> Basic research focusses on the cognitive, formal, and computational foundations of human-centred (responsible) AI technologies. I pursue and steer basic research focussing on: (1) Hybrid AI methods aimed at integration of Machine Reasoning and Learning; (2) Computational Cognitive Vision; (3) Spatial Cognition and Computation; (4) Visual Perception; (5) Knowledge Representation and Reasoning; and (6) Design Computing & Cognition. My research particularly emphasises the study of human-behaviour (embodied multimodal interaction) in naturalistic settings as a principal means of AI technology driven human-centred cognitive assistance in planning, decision-making, design situations requiring an interplay of commonsense, creative, and specialist visuospatial thinking.

previously: Professor within the Department of Computer Science at the University of Bremen, and Stiftungs Professor at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI Bremen) in Germany (Human-Centred Cognitive Assistance Lab / www). Before that, I was member of the Cognitive Systems group, first as a DAAD Scholar, and subsequently during 2008-2010 as an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow. During 2011-2014, I have also been an elected member and principal investigator in the Spatial Cognition Center (Transregio SFB/TR 8 / www), which ran as a joint initiative between the Universities of Bremen and Freiburg during 2003 - 2014. During 2017-2021, I was a PI within SFB 1320: EASE at the University of Bremen.
previous to previously: From 2002 - 2007, based at the Department of Computer Science at La Trobe University (Melbourne, Australia) where I completed a Masters in Information Technology (2004), and a PhD in Computer Science (2008). Till 2011, underwent basic schooling completing a Bachelor of Economics at the Narsee Monjee College of Economics (Mumbai, India).
