[agents] PhD or postdoc position in BDI agents in Canada

[Babak Esfandiari]

I am looking to hire a PhD or a postdoc in the application of the 
Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) paradigm to autonomous mobile robots and 
vehicles, as well as cybersecurity. With my team of students, we are 
looking mainly into:
- enhancing the ability of agent frameworks to handle reasoning with 
uncertainty;
- supporting the developer's task with code generation and enhanced 
explainability of the agent's behavior;
- evaluating tradeoffs using realistic case studies.

More detail can be found in the following recent publications:

of AAMAS’22

Mobile Robots with Beliefs, Desires, and Intentions”, Special Issue 
“Intelligent Control of Mobile Robotics” of Electronics, MDPI, 2021, 
10(17), 2136

My lab is situated at Carleton University, in Ottawa, Canada. Candidates 
interested in applying can send me an email with an expression of 
interest and a CV.
