I am a postgraduate research student at the The Open University’s Centre for Research in Computing, in Milton Keynes, UK.

My work as a full-time PhD student is supervised by Dr Paul Piwek and Dr Richard Power from the Natural Language Generation Group. I am now in the third year of my doctoral studies, looking at computational models of dialogue management for non-cooperative conversational agents.

One of the aims of this site is to explain the last sentence in the previous paragraph. In the Research area you will find a description of my PhD project, and also of other research I am involved with (rule-based spell-checking for Spanish, stereotypical computational humour and generation of natural language descriptions of formal specifications).

Progress is a private section with managerial details of my PhD project. You should be able to enter if this is of relevance to you, but please email me otherwise.
