Shlomo Zilberstein is Professor of Computer Science<\/a> and former Associate Dean for Research and Engagement in the Manning College of Information and Computer Sciences<\/a> at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst<\/a>. He also directs the Resource-Bounded Reasoning Lab<\/a>. He received a B.A. in Computer Science summa cum laude from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology<\/a>, and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of California, Berkeley<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Zilberstein’s research focuses on the foundations and applications of resource-bounded reasoning techniques, which allow complex systems to make decisions while coping with uncertainty, missing information, and limited computational resources. His research interests include automated reasoning, planning and learning under uncertainty, multi-agent systems, Markov decision processes, design of autonomous agents, meta-reasoning and meta-level control, self-driving vehicles, human-centered AI, safe and ethical AI.<\/span><\/p>\n

Zilberstein is a Fellow of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence<\/a>\u00a0(AAAI) and the Association for Computing Machinery<\/a> (ACM). He is\u00a0recipient of the ACM\/SIGAI Autonomous Agents Research Award<\/a> (2025), the University of Massachusetts Chancellor\u2019s Medal<\/a> (2019), the\u00a0IFAAMAS Influential Paper Award<\/a> (2019), the AAAI Distinguished Service Award<\/a> (2019), a National Science Foundation CAREER Award<\/a> (1996), and the\u00a0Israel Defense Prize<\/a> (1992). He has received Paper Awards from ECAI<\/a> (1998), AAMAS<\/a> (2003), IAT<\/a> (2005), MSDM<\/a> (2008), ICAPS<\/a> (2010), and AAAI<\/a> (2017, 2021), IEEE BigData<\/a> (2020),\u00a0IJCAI<\/a> (2020), and SoCS<\/a> (2022), and the Lady Davis Visiting Professorship<\/a> at the Technion (2000). He has served as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research<\/a>, and as Associate Editor of Artificial Intelligence<\/a>, Autonomous Systems and Multi-Agent Systems<\/a>, and Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence<\/a>. He served as Chair of the Conference Committee of the AAAI Conference<\/a> (AAAI-17, AAAI-16, AAAI-15) and Program Chair of the International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling<\/a> (ICAPS-15, ICAPS-04), and the\u00a0International Symposium on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics<\/a> (ISAIM-06). He is the former President of ICAPS<\/a>, a former Councilor of AAAI<\/a>, a current Trustee of IJCAI<\/a>\u00a0and Chair of IJCAI-25<\/a>, and the Chairman of the AI Access Foundation<\/a>.<\/p>\n
