My name is Esteban, I have the Associate Professor in Social-aware Artificial Intelligence chair at the Department Computing Science in Umeå University, Sweden. 

My specific research field is formal methods of software agents in Artificial Intelligence, and some of my research interests are: 

• 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)

• We-Intention (Tuomela, Bratman)

Teaching:

I am coordinator and lecturer of two courses at Umeå University: 

• Människa-AI-interaktion / Human-AI Interaction (5DV245) and 

• Human-Centered AI (5DV244).
