Brief Bio
Who am I? That is a very good question - one that I have been pondering myself for quite some time ...
I am currently a Doctoral Candidate in the School of Computing at the University of Eastern Finland.
I am also married and a proud father of two lovely girls.
Research
My current research is based on the creation of a generic platform for adaptive context-aware expert systems. In other words, an adaptive context aware AI system.
Research ActivityMy PhD advisor is Dr. Kinshuk: http://kinshuk.athabascau.ca/
