Research: Applied Cognitive Psychology
For my PhD thesis my fields of interest were Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Environments. As far as Artificial Intelligence is concerned, I focused on things that had to do with human memorize capabilities. Mainly, I tried to simulate the learning and forgetting process of the human brain. The results of my research were being tested/evaluated and applied on Virtual Environments of Educational Software Games.
