About
Sinem Getir Yaman is a leading researcher in the engineering of trustworthy autonomous systems, with a core focus on the specification, validation, and verification of Social, Legal, Ethical, Empathetic, and Cultural (SLEEC) requirements. Her work addresses a critical challenge: ensuring that AI and robotic agents comply with complex human-centric norms. Dr. Getir Yaman has pioneered formal methods for normative requirements, developing techniques to specify, analyze, and debug these rules using satisfiability checking—a contribution that has garnered over 60 citations across her most-cited works. She introduced the SLEEC-TK toolkit, a practical framework for validating autonomous agent behavior against SLEEC norms, and has explored human empowerment in self-adaptive socio-technical systems. Her research on normative conflict resolution through human-agent interaction and resilient strategies for socially compliant assistive robots demonstrates a commitment to real-world applications, from healthcare to assistive care. Dr. Getir Yaman’s work is foundational for building AI systems that are not only autonomous but also ethically and socially responsible.
