Dr. Reyhan Aydogan is Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Özyegin University and guest researcher in the Interactive Intelligence Group at TU Delft. She received her PhD. degree in 2011 in Computer Engineering from Bogaziçi University, Turkey, after which she joined the Interactive Intelligence Group at Delft University of Technology as a postdoctoral researcher. As a guest researcher, she visited the Center of Collective Intelligence at MIT in 2013; Intelligence Systems Group at Norwegian University of Science and Technology in 2015 and Nagoya Institute of Technology in 2017. Her research focuses on the modeling, development and analysis of intelligent agents that integrate different aspects of intelligence such as reasoning, decision making and learning. She is well-known for her research on qualitative preference modeling, automated negotiating agents and negotiation protocols. Besides autonomous agents, she also designs and develops decisionsupport systems in particular negotiation support systems. Her aim is to support human decision makers in complex and dynamic environments, which also requires the design of effective human computer interaction (e.g. preference elicitation). Her career project is about human-robot negotiation.
