Overview
Having (co-)authored four book chapters and numerous research papers, I am one of the key players in the field of Computational Argumentation, which aims to allow computers to make inferences based on possibly incomplete and conflicting information, in a way not dissimilar to how humans would reason. My work on argumentation semantics and rationality postulates is nowadays used by various other researchers as the basis of their work.

Supervision
I am currently supervisingb a PhD student (Sri Harikrishnan) in the field of formal argumentation.
Past projects
Before coming to Cardiff, I was the PhD supervisor of two PhD students in Luxembourg: Yining Wu and Mikolaj Podlaszewski. Both of them successfully obtained their PhD degree and published in high level venues.
