# overview
Dani Selva's research interests are at the intersection of space systems, artificial intelligence, and engineering system design. Ultimately, Dani is most inspired by two things: everything space, and the Systems scientists of the 1970's such as Herbert Simon who conducted multi-disciplinary research at the intersection of artificial intelligence, cognitive psychology, economics, statistics, and decision analysis.
