ABOUT BART GAJDEROWICZ

I am the Executive Director and a Research Fellow at the Urban Data Centre, School of Cities, University of Toronto. I am also a Research Fellow at the Centre for Social Services Engineering. I work on artificial intelligence, specifically ontology engineering, natural language understanding (NLU), social simulation, and advanced analytics on knowledge graphs, with applications in Smart Cities.Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Industrial Engineering Department at the University of Toronto, and a member of the Centre for Social Services Engineering under the supervision of Professor Mark Fox. I hold a PhD in Industrial Engineering from the University of Toronto, under the supervision of Professors Mark S. Fox and Michael Grüninger. During my PhD, I was the Project Director of the Simulator project at the Centre for Social Services Engineering. I was also a Postdoctoral Research Fellow (Mitacs) in the Computer Science Department at Lakehead University under the supervision of Prof. Vijay Mago, a Senior Research Scientist at Wondeur Ai. I was also a postdoctoral researcher at Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) at the Behavioural Business and Social Sciences, Tata Research Development and Design Centre.The long-term goal of my research is the application of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques towards understanding human behaviour. This research focuses on Human-AI interaction, collaboration, and behaviour analysis where AI- understands human reasoning- perceives humans as bounded rational agents- incorporates data-intensive behaviour modelling- supplements the human decision-making process- predicts human goal-driven behaviour, and- supplements data-poor domains with behaviour theories from psychology, sociology, and economics.
