Biografia
Professor Agnieszka Wykowska leads the unit S4HRI “Social Cognition in Human-Robot Interaction” at the Italian Institute of Technology (Genoa, Italy), where she is also the Coordinator of CHT (the Center for Human Technologies). At IIT, she is also member of the Board of the Scientific Director. In addition, she is a Hans Fischer Senior Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study at the Technical University in Munich and an adjunct professor of Engineering Psychology at the Luleå University of Technology. She graduated in neuro-cognitive psychology (2006, LMU Munich), obtained PhD in psychology (2008) and the German “Habilitation” (2013) from LMU Munich. In 2016 she was awarded the ERC Starting grant “InStance": "Intentional Stance for Social Attunement”. In 2024, she was awarded the ERC Proof-of-Concept grant "RONIN": Robot Training Independence. She is Editor-in-Chief of IJSR (International Journal of Social Robotics). Between 2022 and 2024 she served as President of ESCAN (European Society for Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience). She is member of ELLIS (European Lab for Learning and Intelligent Systems) and Board Member of Association of ERC Grantees. She is also a delegate to the ERA Forum (European Research Area), representing stakeholder's group "Individual researchers and innovators". In 2025 she has been awarded the André Mischke award for outstanding scientists involved in science policy by the Young Academy Europe. In her research, she combines cognitive neuroscience methods with human-robot interaction in order to understand the human brain mechanisms in interaction with natural and artificial agents.
