Nele Russwinkel is leading the institute for Information systems (IFIS) at the University of Lübeck in the north of Germany and holds a professorship for Human-Aware AI since 2022. Before that she was leading the chair for Cognitive Modelling in dynamic Human Machine Interaction at the TU Berlin. Her ambition is to bring AI and Cognition closer together - what does the cognitive system need to interact in a fluent, meaningful and beneficial way with intelligent systems and how can the system gain understanding or anticipate the human interacting with it. Apart from modelling the human in the loop of continuous interaction (e.g. with the help of cognitive architectures such as ACT-R) she is working in Human-Robot Cooperation and Cognitive Robotics. Nele is involved of the International Computational Cognitive Modelling Society as president and at the “German Society for Computer Science” as spokeswoman in the subject area “AI” in the specialist group “Cognition”. She is Vice President in the German Cognitive Science Society. Here she cares especially about deep interdisciplinary exchange in relevant topic area and to get young researchers involved.
