My research area is the development and use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to enable autonomous, goal-driven behaviour in robots. I focus on problems of sequential decision-making under uncertainty, particularly planning with Markov decision processes and related models. I am interested in how to learn these models during real robot deployments, and how to solve them for rich goal specifications including risk and temporal logic goals. 

In college I currently tutor the maths papers (P1/A1). In the department I have taught Computer Engineering (A2) and Software Engineering (B16), and supervise fourth year projects. 

Outside of the Pembroke I am the Director of the Oxford Robotics Institute.
