Anahita Jamshidnejad is Assistant Professor at the Department of Control and Operations, Delft University of Technology, where she has established her research group on Mathematical Decision Making (MDM). She co-founded the AI*MAN lab, where the MDM collaborates with the Intelligent Systems group (EEMCS faculty) on integrating optimization theory and AI approaches for decision-making of artificial agents, in teams composed of humans and artificial agents.  

Nazli Cila is Assistant Professor of Human-Agent Partnerships at the Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering. Her research focuses on collaborations with autonomous agents, such as smart products, robots, and AI systems, and their socio-technical implications. She integrates empirical work (e.g., experimentation, future modelling, and prototyping) with philosophical, ethical, and practical issues regarding trust, responsibility, control, and intelligence. Her mission is to create foundational theory on Human-Agent Partnerships and reveal interaction patterns for meaningful, aesthetic, empowering collaborations with agents.
