Research Specialisation

  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Computational Cognitive Science
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Design Cognition and Computation

Artificial and Human Intelligence   >   Research focusses on the cognitive, formal, and computational foundations of (human-centred) AI technologies. I pursue and steer basic research in Spatial Cognition and Computation, Visual Perception, Computational Cognitive Modelling, Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, Integration of Reasoning and Learning, Multimodal Interaction, Integrated Vision and AI, and Design Computing & Cognition. With the overarching goal of integrating research in AI and Cognition Science, a key motivation has been to develop foundational methods for (computational) cognitive technologies in applied contexts where human-centred design and engineering are crucial, e.g., autonomous systems, architecture and built environment design, communications and (digital) media technologies. 

I have been awarded an Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship, a German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) Award, and an Australian Postgraduate Award (APA). In 2014,  I was nominated for the German Research Foundation (DFG) Award: Heinz Maier-Leibnitz-Preis. I serve as an Area Chair ("Human and AI") at the premier AI forum, IJCAI. Amongst others, our research has been the recipient of distinguished research awards at premier AI forums such as LPNMR and IJCAI, and outcomes have been featured independently in the media by several media outlets, including The Economist and DW-TV International.

Previously, I obtained a bachelors in Economics (Mumbai, India), masters in Information Technology (Melbourne, Australia), and a PhD in Computer Science (Melbourne, Australia). Prior to Örebro, I was Professor at the University of Bremen (Germany).

During 2025, I am also a Visiting/Guest Professor at the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience (FU Berlin) through a strategic (sabbatical) grant by the Stiftelsens för Strategisk Forskning (Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research, SSF).
