I'm a PhD student at the Faculty of Computer and Information Science, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. I work in AI Lab. My advisors are prof. dr. Ivan Bratko and dr. Janez Demsar.

Research

- qualitative reasoning
- machine learning and its applications in data mining and modeling of dynamical systems
- intelligent robotics
