Bio:
Dr. Mauro Vallati is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Computing and Engineering of the University of Huddersfield (UK). Previously, (2011-2012) he worked as a Research Fellow at the University of Brescia (Italy). He received his Ph.D. in 2012 by the University of Brescia with a thesis on innovative techniques for learning for automated planning. He has been Visiting Researcher at the University of British Columbia (Canada), Delft Technical University (The Netherlands), Universidad National del Sur (Argentina), and National Institute of Informatics (Japan).
His main research interests are in Artificial Intelligence Planning and Argumentation. In particular, he works on domain-independent planning, knowledge engineering, SATisfiability, machine learning, abstract argumentation, portfolio approaches, heuristic search, and automatic algorithm configuration. He is also active in the fields of innovative applications of AI in Medicine, Intelligent Transportation Systems, and Computational Creativity.
