Adi Botea, a computer scientist at IBM Research in Dublin, Ireland, previously affiliared with Australian National University and NICTA, with research interests in AI planning, heuristic search, and games. He holds a Ph.D. from University of Alberta about AI Planning and Search [1], and was involved in developing of the pathfinding algorithm HPA* (Hierarchical Path-Finding A*) [2][3], and Macro-FF [4], a planner obtained by adding macro-operators on top of the fast forward planning system [5].
