I am the assistant director of the
Institute for the Study of Learning and Expertise (ISLE), and also a member of the
Computational Learning Laboratory in
CSLI
at Stanford University.
My research interests revolve around the topic of architectures for intelligent agents,
specifically the design, development, and validation of value-driven artifacts that
provably address human interests as a byproduct of pursuing their own, internal
motivations. I am interested in a variety of related technologies, e.g., computational
learning, reactive programming, decision theory, and operations research.
