About me
I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Robotics and Autonomous Systems at King’s College London, where I lead the Civic and Responsible AI Lab (CRAIL). I am also Co-Director of the UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training in Safe and Trusted AI.
My current research focuses on evaluating and mitigating risks in AI and robotics algorithms, critically analyzing current practices in these fields, and designing AI tools for social justice and accountability. For more details please check CRAIL’s website.
Other topics I have worked on include:
- fair and explainable planning
- ethical issues of planning, robotics and AI
- hierarchical motion planning
- informative planning (active vision)
- learning approaches to planning
- human-inspired planning
- design optimization
- visual detection, mapping, estimation and tracking
Previously, I was a post-doc at King’s College London (2019-2021), at the Oxford Robotics Institute, University of Oxford (2017-2019), and at Takanishi Laboratory, Waseda University, Tokyo (2016-2017). My PhD was advised by Atsuo Takanishi and Jose Santos-Victor.
I used to write blogs introducing non-mainstream Japanese music and Russian music, and I maintain a site about literature and cinema of Macau.
