[Dr. Raluca D. Gaina @b_gum22]

Had a great time @cig2018ieee last week, catching up with old friends and meeting new ones; amazing research in #gameAI Ready to get working on all the new ideas now! Also looking forward to #CoG2019 which might just be bigger and better than ever! (being the first CoG helps...)
