Biography

Constantin Ruhdorfer is a PhD student in the Collaborative Artificial Intelligence group and a PhD scholar in the International Max Planck Research School for Intelligent Systems (IMPRS-IS) since November 2023. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from the Cooperative State University Baden-Württemberg and a Master's degree in Computer Science from the University of Stuttgart. His research interests lies in building and training agents that can cooperate well with humans by taking into account their individual mental states and preferences. Likewise his interests lie at the intersection of multi-agent reinforcement learning, inverse reinforcement learning, machine theory of mind and AI alignment.
