Mission
Modeling the brain: Martin's research focuses on a computational understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying natural intelligence in vision and language. To achieve this goal, he bridges Deep Learning, Neuroscience, and Cognitive Science, building artificial neural network models that match the brain’s neural representations in their internal processing and are aligned to
Tanja Christina Käser JacoberTanja Käser is an assistant professor at the EPFL School of Computer and Communication Sciences (IC) and head of the D-VET laboratory. Her research lies at the intersection of machine learning, data mining, and education. She is particularly interested in creating accurate models of human behavior and learning.Prior to joining EPFL, Tanja Käser was a senior data scientist with the Swiss Data Science Center at ETH Zurich. Before that, she was a postdoctoral researcher with the AAALab at the Graduate School of Education of Stanford University.
Tanja Käser received her PhD degree from the Computer Science Department of ETH Zurich. In her dissertation, completed at the Computer Graphics Laboratory, she focused on user modeling and data mining in education, which was honored with the Fritz Kutter Award 2015.

Lazar MilikicExpertise
LLMs (Large Language Models), NLP (Natural Language Processing), Automated Reasoning
Mission
My work focuses on developing robust methods for autoformalization and automated theorem proving using large language models. I aim to enhance the reasoning reliability of modern AI systems by reducing hallucinations, improving predictability, and integrating formal verification techniques and tools into LLM-based pipelines.
Before joining EDIC, I completed a Bachelor’s in Mathematics and Computer Science
Jauwairia NasirI am a doctoral candidate and a Marie Curie ITN Fellow in the field of Robotics at Computer-Human Interaction for Learning and Instruction Lab at EPFL where I currently work towards building Human-Robot Interaction technologies, leveraging AI, to help improve learning environments for kids. I did my Masters in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences from KAIST, South Korea and my Bachelors in Electronics Engineering from School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (SEECS) NUST in Pakistan. During my Bachelors and Masters degrees, my research revolved around path planning algorithms for mobile robots and autonomous household robots for elderly, respectively.As the Women in AI (WAI) Education Lead in Switzerland, I organize WAI educational activities in the country such as WaiCAMPs and am also a part of WAI’s Global Education Task Force. I am passionate about causes such as safe and unbiased AI, education for all, and discrimination free society.
