About

I am a PhD student in the School of Computer Science at the University of St Andrews, supervised by Prof. Ian Gent, Dr Alice Toniolo and Dr. Joan Espasa Arxer.

Research

My research focuses on diversity planning within the broader field of automated planning. Diversity planning addresses the problem of finding multiple, meaningfully different plans for a given problem specification — a challenge that lies at the heart of many real-world applications including risk management, plan recognition, and automated data analysis. I am particularly interested in planning with simulators, where simulation-based environments replace traditional declarative models. My work on the behaviour planning framework introduces FBI_LTL, a diverse planner that uses Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) to define what makes plans semantically different, generating plans that are meaningfully diverse. More broadly, I am interested in the applications of automated planning across domains such as scenario planning, with a specific focus on cybersecurity — including areas such as threat modelling and automated peneration testing.
