About

I am the VP of software engineering at ISEE AI, a self-driving truck company. We are developing artificial intelligence software for autonomous tractors that allows them to operate alongside humans in busy industrial environments.

We are hiring engineers interested in autonomy and embodied artificial intelligence. See

I am also (partially) affiliated with Artificial Intelligence Center, Dept. of Computer Science, FEE, Czech Technical University in Prague as an adjunct researcher.

Research Interests

I am interested in applications of robotics and artificial intelligence in future transportation. In particular, I am working on analysis and optimization for large-scale mobility-on-demand systems. See the website of  Smart Urban Mobility research cluster for more details.

My research interests include topics related to artificial intelligence, transportation, robotics and multi-agent systems such as:
