I am an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Department at New Mexico State University. Before that, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Alberta, where I worked under the guidance of Matthew Taylor at  The Intelligent Robot Learning Laboratory. I completed my Ph.D. at Washington University in St. Louis in the Computer Science and Engineering Department under the mentorship of William Yeoh. I obtained an M.S degree in Computer Science from New Mexico State University and a B.S. in Electronics Engineering from Universidad Mayor de San Andres.

The objective of my research lies in studying the influence of human-agent-environment interaction and understanding how this interaction can benefit both humans and AI agents.

During my Ph.D. I focused on Stochastic Goal Recognition Design (S-GRD) Problems, where we study the environment’s influence on the agent’s behavior and use it to facilitate goal recognition.

My current interest is to use intelligent tutor systems supported by reinforcement learning and goal recognition to optimize agents’ intervention or environment modification to help people thrive in different settings.
