Dr. David Speck

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Basel, Switzerland. My primary research interest is in the field of artificial intelligence, with a focus on automated planning, i.e., the problem of finding a course of action that allows an intelligent agent to move from any situation it finds itself in to one that satisfies its goals.

From April 2018 to May 2022, I was a scientific employee at the University of Freiburg, Germany, at the Chair of Foundations of Artificial Intelligence of Prof. Dr. Bernhard Nebel and received my PhD (Dr. rer. nat.) in February 2022. From June 2022 to May 2024 I was part of the Machine Reasoning Lab as a postdoctoral researcher at Linköping University, Sweden. Since June 2024, I have been part of the Artificial Intelligence research group team at University of Basel, Switzerland.
