Welcome
I
am a Professor at the
Department of
Advanced Computing Sciences of Maastricht University. I received the Ph.D. degree
in Artificial Intelligence from the Department of Computer
Science, Maastricht University, Maastricht, The Netherlands, in
2004. My research interests include heuristic search, machine
learning and games. I regularly serve on program committees of
major AI and computer games conferences. I am an editor-in-chief
of the ICGA Journal and an associate editor of
IEEE Transactions
on Games.
