Short presentation
Didem cares about the future of the world and nature. She is a computer scientist with a Ph.D. in mechatronics who focuses on robotics and physical AI that enable machines to cooperate, collaborate, and coexist with humans and each other. She leads research on multi-agent systems, cyber-physical systems, and autonomous robots always with an eye toward symbiotic relationships rather than purely optimized solutions.

Biography
Before Uppsala University, I worked at Stanford University as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow on Human-centered and Sustainable Cyber-physical Systems and at the University of Cambridge as a Research Associate in Cyber-physical Systems. I received my Ph.D. in Mechatronics from the Royal Institute of Technology.
In addition to being awarded Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship, I have been granted as IEEE Senior Member due to significant performance and excellence in science. I was selected as the Fellow of the Week by Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions. I have been listed on the 100 Women in AI Ethics and Global Top 100 Innovators in Data & Analytics. Several magazines have interviewed me. The latest one was with computers.org. I teach at Oxford University and the University of Cambridge in a few courses/modules. I act as a reviewer for more than 17 different scientific journals. And I am the editor for two special issues on sustainability and the human-centered design of cyber-physical systems.
Currently, I am acting as Associate Editor and Topic Editor in three scientific journals. Moreover, I am on the technical committee of several conferences while mentoring young women and trans people interested in data science, cyber-physical systems, and AI ethics.
