Biography

I am a Lecturer in Computer Science (Software Engineering) at the School of Computer Science and Information Technology, University College Cork, Ireland.

I did my PhD at the Department of Artificial Intelligence of the University of Groningen in the field of Cognitive Modeling focusing on building biologically inspired agents for handling complex problem-solving tasks. I did my Master in Computer Science at the Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, South Korea, and my Bachelor in Computer Science at the Huree University of Information and Communication Technology, Mongolia.

I have an interdisciplinary research experience revolving around the general topic of intelligent software development. In the past, I participated as a postdoc in several EU-funded projects such as the Horizon2020-funded RAGE project (Realizing Applied Gaming Ecosystem) on building open-source reusable AI-enabled pedagogical components for serious games. Another notable project is the QuAnGIS project for building a question-answering system for GIS that can automatically generate GIS workflows answering a research question given as a query. My current research interests lie in end-user oriented task-specific applications of GenAI via fine-tuning and prompt engineering.‍

Research Interests

I have an interdisciplinary research background revolving around the general topic of intelligent software development at the intersection of a variety of fields including AI, Cognitive Science, Software Engineering, and HCI. More specific topics include knowledge engineering, serious games, question answering, and NLP.
