Thomas Langerak

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at Aalto University, where I work with Prof. Dr. Antti Oulasvirta in the Computational Behavior Lab. I work on the modelling of human behavior via Reinforcement Learning. I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science at ETH Zürich, working under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Otmar Hilliges in the AIT Lab. In my research I explore the dynamics of human interactions with intelligent systems, such as user interfaces and robots. My research intersects Machine Learning and Human-Computer Interaction, concentrating on integrating models of human behavior into intelligent control strategies. In my work, I develop algorithms and methodologies that not only predict and approximate human behavior but also apply these insights to the control of intelligent interactive systems. Before my Ph.D. at ETH Zürich, I completed a joint M.Sc degree in Computer Science, specializing in intelligent systems, from Aalto University and the University of Twente. Additionally, I hold a B.Sc degree in Industrial Design from Eindhoven University of Technology.
