About
I am a Ph.D. student at the Digital Aviation Research and Technology Centre (DARTeC) at Cranfield University, affiliated with the School of Aerospace, Transport, and Manufacturing (SATM). I specialise in human-machine teaming under the supervision of Prof. Weisi Guo.
Prior to joining DARTeC, I received my Diploma from the University of West Attica and worked as both an undergraduate intern and a Research Associate in the Extreme Robotics Laboratory (ERL) at the University of Birmingham under the supervision of Dr. Manolis Chiou. My research aimed to propose probabilistic solutions for variable autonomy robotic systems with a human-in-the-loop, deployed in hazardous or remote environments, by building robots that can perceive the status of human operators.
My current interests broadly encompass the application of advanced computational tools to enhance autonomous systems. Specifically, my work focuses on integrating large language models (LLMs) with hierarchical learning techniques to improve decision-making in complex environments, such as search and rescue (SAR) operations. By leveraging natural language inputs from human stakeholders, I aim to make autonomous systems more adaptive and context-aware, facilitating more efficient information gathering and task execution. The general impact of this work lies in bridging the gap between human and machine intelligence, ultimately advancing the field of autonomous robotics and improving responses in high-stakes, dynamic scenarios.
