I am a postdoctoral research assistant working on the Dialectical Argumentation Machines project. My main interests concern computational and philosophical aspects of argumentation in various domains, such as multi-agent systems and legal reasoning. I am currently looking at the connection between argumentative dialogue and argument structure, the connections between different (logical and non-logical) argumentation frameworks and the role of narratives in argumentation.

I have a masters degree in Cognitive AI from Utrecht University. In 2009, I obtained my PhD degree at the Centre for Law and ICT in Groningen (the Netherlands), with a dissertation titled Evidence for a Good Story: A Hybrid Theory of Arguments, Stories and Criminal Evidence. A summary of my dissertation is available here. The dissertation was published by Springer in 2011.
