Ahmed Y. Nurye

I am a Systems Engineer at Northvolt, where I develop algorithms for battery management systems. I completed my M.Sc. in Robotics at Warsaw University of Technology in October 2024. My thesis focused on mobile robot navigation in dynamic environments using deep reinforcement learning, conducted under the supervision of Prof. Elżbieta Jarzębowska. Prior to this, I earned my B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from Addis Ababa Science and Technology University in September 2021.

Research Interests:
I am driven by the challenge of creating robotic agents that go beyond task efficiency to engage naturally and safely with people. Specifically:

• Developing models to predict human behavior in dynamic, real-world environments with limited training data, to enable robots to respond proactively to subtle behavioral cues.
• Designing robust evaluation frameworks for safety in HRI, integrating technical reliability with user-centered design principles.
• Testing and refining these models across diverse robotic platforms and scenarios to ensure adaptability with minimal parameter tuning.
