Bio

I am a PhD student in Game Artificial Intelligence at Clermont Auvergne University at the LIMOS research unit in Clermont-Ferrand, France. My thesis is entitled “Reasoning with Ontologies in real-time for Non-Player Characters (NPC) Artificial Intelligence in games”.

I am trying to improve Non-Player Character (NPC) decision making in games through Logic Programming (LP) and ontologies, using a Prolog inference engine and the Unity game engine. This thesis involves a research collaboration with the independent game studio Wako Factory to test our approach.
