Research Interests: Interval computations, intelligent control (including fuzzy and neural approaches), reasoning under uncertainty

Goals: In interval computations, I am looking for general (feasible)
methods to estimate the accuracy of the results of data processing
algorithms. I am also interested in the mathematical foundations of
intelligent control, with the goal of finding the optimal way to
transform expert operator's knowledge into the actual control
strategy.
