Sarit Kraus (Ph.D. Computer Science, Hebrew University, 1989) is a Professor of Computer Science at Bar-Ilan University. Her research is focused on intelligent agents and multi-agent systems integrating machine-learning techniques with optimization and game theory methods. In particular, she studies the development of intelligent agents that can interact proficiently with people and with robots. She has also contributed to the research on machine learning, XAI, agent optimization, robustness, autonomous vehicles, homeland security, adversarial patrolling, social networks and nonmonotonic reasoning.
For her work, she received many prestigious awards. She was awarded the IJCAI Computers and Thought Award, the IJCAI Research Excellent Award, the ACM SIGART Agents Research Award, the ACM Athena Lecturer, the EMET prize, and was twice the winner of the IFAAMAS influential paper award. She is an ACM, AAAI and EurAI fellow and a recipient of the advanced ERC grant. She also received a special commendation from the city of Los Angeles, together with Prof. Tambe, Prof. Ordonez and their USC students, for the creation of the ARMOR security scheduling system. She has published over 400 papers in leading journals and major conferences, co-authored five books and was IJCAI-2019 program chair and was elected as IJCAI-2027 conference chair. She is an elected member of the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities.

Goren Gordon (TAU)
Prof. Goren Gordon PhD, PhD MBA. Goren has six academic degrees, a BA, MSc and PhD in Quantum Physics, a BMSc, MBA and another PhD in Neurobiology. He did his postdoc in MIT Media Lab’s Personal Robots Group. Goren is the head of the Curiosity Lab in Tel-Aviv University. He studies mathematical models of curiosity, implementing them in curious social robots and using them to assess and promote curiosity in children. Goren’s social robots promote other 21st century skills, such as growth mindset, collaboration in small groups and communication between toddlers and parents. Goren’s artificial curiosity models are also implemented in novel data-science algorithms. Goren has developed Quantum Computer Games, published "The Quantum Matrix", a popular science book for all ages on quantum physics, and has a teaching certificate from MIT.
