Research
I am a Postdoctoral Scholar at the Computational Robotics Lab (CRL) in the Computer Science Department at Technion — Israel Institute of Technology , working with Prof. Oren Salzman .
My research focuses on Planning, Search & Optimization, with applications in AI, robotics, and combinatorial problems. I develop algorithms for generalized automated planning with dynamic action models, combining tools from AI planning, graph theory, and combinatorial optimization.
Current Research Areas
- Search & AI Planning — generalized shortest-path problems, heuristic search, numeric planning
- Motion Planning for Robotics — sampling-based planning, bidirectional search, lazy evaluation
- Multi-Agent Systems — warehouse rearrangement, coordinated planning
- Combinatorial Optimization — pattern databases, multi-objective optimization
