My name is Esteban, I am an assistant professor at the School of Technology and Innovations, Computer Science, University of Vaasa (UWA), Finland.
Research field: formal methods of Artificial Intelligence. Specific research interests:
Software agents: practical reasoning, multi-agents systems (MAS)
Non-monotonic reasoning (NMR): formal argumentation theory, answer-set, logic programming
Knowledge representation: ontologies and knowledge bases and graphs
Hybrid architectures: Machine Learning (Reinforcement Learning, Neural Net.) + NMR
... and at the human side, I have experience using:
Activity Theory (Leontiev/Vygotsky/Kaptelinin's activity and the Engeström's activity system)
Planning theory of intention (Bratman)
Joint Intention or We-Intention (Bratman, Tuomela)

Current projects
Current funded projects: I am part of two projects to design, develop and test intelligent gamification for financial literacy. Project 1: Investigame, funded by the Nasdaq Nordic Foundation (2022-2024) in collaboration with the Gamification Group at Tampere University. Project 2: Digiconsumers funded by the the Strategic Research Council of Finland operating in connection with the Academy of Finland (2018-2024)(https://digiconsumers.fi), in consortium with researchers at Helsinki University, University of Jyväskylä, and PTT (see researchers here).
