SHORT BIO
Rineke Verbrugge is a pioneer in building bridges between logic and cognitive science. Specifically, she was the first one to combine dynamic epistemic logic and computational cognitive modelling to study theory of mind. Verbrugge holds the chair of Logic and Cognition at the University of Groningen’s Bernoulli Institute of Mathematics, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence. She is the leader of the Multi-agent Systems research group. Verbrugge’s research spans an area covering provability logic, teamwork in multi-agent environments, and social cognition. Since her PhD on logic and the foundations of mathematics at the University of Amsterdam, Verbrugge has published more than 170 peer-reviewed international publications and a monograph, Teamwork in Multi-Agent Systems, with Barbara Dunin-Keplicz. Verbrugge has led the NWO Vici-project “Cognitive systems in interaction: Logical and computational models of higher-order social cognition”. She is one of the six principal investigators of the Gravitation project “Hybrid Intelligence: Augmenting Human Intellect” that will run in the Netherlands in 2020-2030. Verbrugge is associate editor of the Journal of Logic, Language and Information and has been program chair of several workshops, conferences and a summer school, as well as secretary of the Benelux Association for Artificial Intelligence (BNVKI) and chair of the Dutch Association for Logic. Verbrugge has won the Educator of the Year award of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences of the University of Groningen and is an elected member of the Royal Holland Society of Sciences and Humanities.
