About Me

I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at Aarhus University. My research aims to develop advanced methods for geometric and qualitative spatial reasoning in the context of Artificial Intelligence and Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, with a particular focus on software engineering methodologies and real-world, industry-scale applications.

Previously I was a researcher and lecturer working in the Spatial Intelligence Lab (SIL) at the University of Muenster (2015-2017), and a postdoctoral researcher in the Cognitive Systems group at the University of Bremen (2010 - 2015). I completed my PhD in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Auckland, supervised by Prof. Robert Amor and Prof. Hans Guesgen (2006 - 2010).

Research Interests

Spatial Reasoning in Artificial Intelligence

Constraint Logic Programming Answer Set Programming Computational Geometry

I develop systems for reasoning about "common sense" spatial relations (near, above, adjacent, parallel, inside, etc.) within Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR) frameworks. My aim is to lift semantics and qualitative interpretations from raw numerical spatial data by utilising domain-specific background knowledge.

AI for Computer Aided Architectural Design

Building Information Modelling Artificial Intelligence

I employ Artificial Intelligence methods for enhanced Building Information Modelling (BIM) and architectural design, including design analysis and empirical experiments. I am a co-founding member of the DesignSpace Group, an international research and consultation group.

DesignSpace Group

I work with real-world architecture projects, industry-scale data, and industry collaborators, such as the New Parkland Hospital project, currently the largest hospital construction project in the US.
