Summary
👤
SeniorThomas Langerak is a Postdoctoral Researcher at Aalto University exploring human interaction with intelligent systems, melding machine learning with human–computer interaction to embed models of user behavior into autonomous control. With a PhD from ETH Zürich and a cross-border MSc from Aalto and the University of Twente, his training spans AI, design, and usability, grounded in a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Design from Eindhoven. His work uniquely combines rigorous algorithm development with a designer’s eye for UX, informed by hands-on experience in industry as a Research Scientist intern at Meta. Based in Zurich, he has led research efforts across Europe and collaborates with Prof. Antti Oulasvirta to advance interactive technologies that anticipate and adapt to people’s needs. He brings roughly a decade of experience across academia and internships, shaping next-generation intelligent interfaces that are both reliable and user-centric. An uncommon bridge from industrial design to ML-enabled HCI informs his work, emphasizing human-centered AI that understands and respects user behavior rather than merely optimizing metrics.
