From Negotiation
| Catholijn M. Jonker, Professor | C.M.Jonker@tudelft.nl | I am interested in cognitive processes and concepts such as trust, negotiation, teams of humans, agents, and/or robots, and the dynamics of individual agents and organisations. My goal is to engineer human experience through multi-modal interaction between natural and artificial actors in a social dynamic context. My main project is the development of the Pocket Negotiator for which I received a VICI grant from STW. | |

| Willem Paul Brinkman, Assistant Professor | W.P.Brinkman@tudelft.nl | Willem-Paul Brinkman research focuses on cognitive engineering on issues such emotion and usability. His is especially interested in mental health computing, such as virtual reality exposure therapy and e-coaching. | |
| Pascal Wiggers, Assistant Professor | P.Wiggers@tudelft.nl | Pascal Wiggers is an assistant professor in the Man-Machine Interaction Group at Delft University of Technology. His research focuses on artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques that enable intuitive collaborative human-machine communication and multimodal, affective interaction. | |
| Joost Broekens, Post Doc Researcher | joost.broekens@gmail.com | Joost Broekens received a MSc degree in Computer Science at the University of Delft, The Netherlands, in 2001. In 2007 he received his PhD in computer science at the University of Leiden, The Netherlands, in the area of computational modeling of emotion in relation to learning processes. He has published in the area of computational models of emotion (ranging from theoretical approaches to more applied ones), developed master-level courses and course material on the topic, and has given several invited lectures as well as less formal talks for the larger public related to Affective Computing. His most recent interests include reinforcement learning, affective computing, human-robot and human-computer interaction, and gaming research. | |
| Dmytro Tykhonov, PhD | D.Tykhonov@tudelft.nl | Dmytro Tykhonov is a PhD researcher at the Man-Machine Interaction Group, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands. He studied artificial intelligence at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam where he received his Master of Science diploma. He works on design and implementation of negotiation systems with a focus on opponent modelling and design of efficient negotiation strategies. This includes research questions such as learning an opponent model in single-shot negotiations, analysis of negotiation performance, computational complexity of preferences and negotiation strategies. His research interests include multi-agent simulations of social phenomena such as trust and deception in trade environments and the influence of national cultures on the development of trust-based trade relations. He is also interested in the art of practical software engineering. | |
| Alina Pommeranz, PhD Researcher | A.Pommeranz@tudelft.nl | Alina holds a degree in Computer Science (German degree: Diplom-Informatikerin (FH)) from the University of Applied Science, Gelsenkirchen. In May 2008 she obtained a Master of Science Degree in Interactive System Engineering at the Royal Institute of Computer Science (KTH), Stockholm. Since August 2008 she is a PhD Researcher within the MMI group at the TU Delft. Her work within the negotiation project focuses on the interaction between the human and the system. In specific she is investigating ways to elicit preferences of the users, build a user model and give intelligent advice by the system to the user. She is using a mixed approach combining qualitative with quantitative research methods involving users as well as experts in the design process. | |
| Wietske Visser, PhD Researcher | Wietske.Visser@tudelft.nl | Within the project, Wietske focuses on the development of a qualitative formal negotiation language suitable for the specification of possibly incomplete domain knowledge, preferences and other constraints, which makes a distinction between negotiation issues and underlying interests. She will also develop a negotiation engine that can use the language to propose bids and process received bids and other communicated information. Her research interests are knowledge representation and reasoning.
Wietske holds a BA degree in Linguistics from Leiden University and a MSc degree in Cognitive Artificial Intelligence from Utrecht University. She started her PhD research in June 2008. | |
| Iris van de Kieft, PhD Researcher | i.c.vandekieft AT tudelft.nl | Iris holds a BSc degree in Artificial Intelligence and a MSc degree in Cognitive Neuropsychology from the VU Universtity Amsterdam. She also completed the first year of the Master of Logic at the University of Amsterdam.
