I’m humbled to be selected as one of the young researchers invited to the prestigious Heidelberg Laureate Forum Foundation. This forum unites recipients of esteemed awards in mathematics and computer science (the Abel Prize, ACM Turing Award, Fields Medal, and others) with selected early-career researchers from across the globe. It offers a week of engaging interdisciplinary exchange, connecting young researchers with scientific pioneers and drawing on the expertise of the attending laureates. My studies focus on human-agent interaction systems that quantify complex and semi-qualitative decisions and help find near-optimal solutions for them. These decisions need to blend quantitative analysis with human values and qualitative judgment, such as trade-offs between rigor and empathy. I am grateful to my mentors (especially Reyhan Aydogan) and collaborators for their support along my research. I look forward to representing our MAS community at HLF and returning with new inspiration and ideas to tackle future challenges. #HeidelbergLaureateForum #MultiAgentSystems
