Peter David Fagan

I am a PhD student in robotics and autonomous systems at the University of Edinburgh and Edinburgh Centre for Robotics where I am supervised by Professor Subramanian Ramamoorthy as a member of the RAD lab.

My research focuses on developing novel planning methods for complex multi-step robot tasks. I am particularly focused on how the structure of both formal and informal languages can be used to solve planning tasks. To this end, my research is focused on language grounding, knowledge acquisition and inference methods.

Previously, I completed graduate studies at Stanford University as a NDO graduate student and an undergraduate degree in mathematics at the University College Cork.
