I am an assistant professor (since February 2020) and a scientific researcher at the Faculty of Automatic Control and Computers of University Politehnica of Bucharest (UPB). I hold B. Sc., M. Sc. and PhD degrees in Computer Science from UPB, as well as a PhD degree in Informatics from the École Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Saint-Étienne, following a joint-degree thesis, defended in September 2015.
My research activity and interests span the domains of Ambient Intelligence (AmI), Multi-Agent Systems (MAS), Knowledge Representation applied to Context Management and Machine Learning applied to Activity Recognition.
I have been involved in several national and international research projects, such as CAMI (in the domain of Active and Assisted Living project 2015 - 2018), SPARC (2016 - 2018) - in the domain of social robotics, CONSERT (2017-2018) - in the domain of Ambient Intelligence and Context Management, ROBIN (2018 - 2020) - in the domain of social robotics, and more recently ALAMEDA (2021 - 2023, an H2020 RIA project in the domain of Neurological Disease Monitoring).
I am also the secretary of the Romanian Association for Artificial Intelligence (ARIA), contributing to the organization of AI / ML related events such as TiCIA (Tineri Cercetatori in IA - 2015, 2016, 2018) and the EEML 2019 Summer School.
