Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Luxembourg. His main areas of research are Philosophy of Mind/Cognitive Science and Epistemology, which have naturally led him towards his current focus on the Philosophy of AI. Before coming to Luxembourg, Thomas worked in many different universities in many different countries, including Antwerp, Bochum, Vienna, NTNU (Trondheim), Concordia (Montreal), UNAM (Mexico City), UAEU (Abu Dhabi). Thomas did his PhD in Philosophy at King’s College London, supervised by Charles Travis and David Papineau.
Full Professor of Artificial Intelligence at the University of Luxembourg, affiliated with the Lab for Intelligent and Adaptive Systems (ILIAS). Leon is interested in developing and investigating comprehensive formal models, as well as computational realizations, of individual and collective reasoning and rationality. His research interests include knowledge representation and reasoning, deontic logic, normative systems, formal argumentation and dialogue, agreement technologies, and most recently, cognitive robotics. Leon obtained a PhD in Computer Science from the Erasmus University Rotterdam. In 2023, Leon was granted a Bao Yugang Chair Professorship at Zhejiang University in China.
Postdoctoral Researcher at the Institute of Philosophy at the University of Luxembourg. His research interests span the areas of epistemology, ethics, AI, and logic. Before joining the Institute, Aleks was part of the team headed by Prof. van der Torre, and before coming to Luxembourg, he was a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Zurich. Aleks completed a PhD in Philosophy at the University of Maryland in the U.S. His studies have taken him to places that include Berlin, Munich, Ghent, Amsterdam, Aberdeen, and Riga.
R&T Senior Researcher at the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST), where he is a part of the Trustworthy AI team. Before joining LIST, he was a postdoctoral researcher at AI Robolab and the team headed by Prof. van der Torre. Amro joined the University of Luxembourg as an expert on Explainable AI (XAI). Before moving to Luxembourg he worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the XAI team in the University of Umea, Sweden. Prior to that, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the Hubert Curien Laboratory at the Jean Monnet University in Saint-Etienne, France. His main research topics were vehicle personal assistant agents, multi-agent negotiation, user-centric systems and Quality of Experience (QoE). He obtained his PhD in Computer Science from the École des Mines de Saint-Etienne, France. In his thesis, supervised by Olivier Boissier, Amro investigated the use of multi-agent negotiation/coordination systems for QoE-driven elasticity management for SaaS services. Amro co-chairs EXTRAAMAS, the international workshop on transparent and explainable agents.
Doctoral student. Before coming to Luxembourg, Johan did an MA in Analytic Philosophy at the University of Barcelona, an MSc in Cognitive Science at the TU Kaiserslautern, and a BA in Philosophy at the Xaverian University in Colombia. He is mainly interested in topics related to the metaphysics and epistemology of the mind (including free will and philosophy of perception), AI, and social epistemology. Currently, he is doing research on the cognitive differences between human and AI systems, along with the epistemic problems emerging in human-AI interaction. He has also experience working in a neuroscience lab (IDAM lab in Cologne) and as a teaching assistant in Colombia.
