#About

Oh hi there! Welcome to my personal website. I am Marcus Tantakoun, a researcher and developer passionate about building things that matter. I am currently a second-year PhD computing student, co-supervised by Professors Christian Muise and Xiaodan Zhu, at Queen’s University; previously completed my undergrad at Queen’s with a Bachelor’s of Computing (BCPH) in Artificial Intelligence. My research is interdisciplinary between NLP and Automated Planning. Particularly, involving the exploration of Large Language Models' (LLMs) powerful generative capabilities to complement Automated Planning systems. Outside of academics, I am an active participant in Kingston’s local music scene with a primary focus on playing bass and occasional dabbling in keys and guitar.
