Office hours (2022/23 term 2):

Mon 11am-12pm, Thu 11am-12pm

Research interests: My main research area is Artificial Intelligence. I am interested
in building complex learning systems where humans and agents have to either:
(i) collaborate to deal with complex real-world problems; or (ii) to strategically act against each other. Given this, I mainly focus on the following topics: online learning/decision making, game theory, incentive engineering, multi-agent systems, and their applications to AI for Social Good.
