Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWouter Kouw is an Assistant Professor and researcher with 11 years of experience specializing in probabilistic intelligent autonomous systems, based at Eindhoven University of Technology. He leads a lab that implements Free Energy Principle–based agents as message passing on probabilistic graphical models, applying this to mobile and quadrupedal robots (FEPQuad) and hybrid in-silico/brain-on-chip computing (BayesBrain). His background spans academia and industry—PhD work at Delft, postdoctoral and visiting positions including Cornell, plus research-software roles—giving him rare fluency in both theoretical neuroscience-inspired frameworks and practical robotic implementations. Colleagues describe him as someone who turns abstract Bayesian theories into working robot behaviours, and he actively bridges modeling, software engineering, and hardware-realization in intelligent agents.
