Institute of Artificial Intelligence

Alexander Lodemann

I joined the Institute for Artificial Intelligence as a research assistant and PhD student in March 2025. 
My doctoral research in the KEMAI Research Training Group is in the field of AI planning, with a particular focus on domain learning. My work is supervised by Prof. Dr. Birte Glimm and Prof. Dr. Ambros J. Beer.
