About Me

I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Nottingham, at the School of Computer Science. I am a member of the Cyber-physical Health and Assistive Robotics Technologies (CHART) research group.  My research mainly focuses on language understanding for assistive robots.  Given my multidisciplinary academic background, I believe that equipping robots with the ability to understand and use natural language is an essential step towards making robots more versatile and adaptable. This has many potential applications in manufacturing, medical surgery or healthcare.
