Leon van der Torre

Prof. Leon van der Torre is a full professor of computer science at the University of Luxembourg, affiliated with the Lab for Intelligent and Adaptive Systems (ILIAS). He specializes in formal models of reasoning and interaction in intelligent systems, with research spanning deontic logic, argumentation theory, cognitive robotics, and compliance technologies. He was granted the Bao Yugang Chair Professorship at Zhejiang University (2023) and has held visiting positions, including at Stanford University's CSLI (2013).

His research focuses on integrating logical formalisms with computational systems to address normative reasoning, multiagent coordination, and ethical AI. Key contributions include work on argumentation frameworks, deontic logic applications, and formal models of normative systems. He teaches courses such as 'Introduction to Intelligent Systems' and 'Game Theory', reflecting his expertise in AI and computational reasoning.

Prof. van der Torre actively participates in international conferences (e.g., DEON, PRIMA) and has authored over 400 publications. His work bridges theoretical foundations with practical applications, addressing challenges in AI ethics, legal reasoning, and multiagent systems coordination.
