UPDATE: I’ve currently taken a leave from TU Delft and joined Google as a visiting Research Scientist.
Dr. Mali (Maliheh) Izadi is a tenure-track assistant professor in the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, and Computer Science at Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands. She leads the AISE (AI-enabled Software Engineering) research lab at TU Delft. Her work has been supported by various selective funding and awards, including a ✨ Google Research Scholar Award (2025) and an Amazon Research Award (2024) ✨, as well as industry collaborations such as JetBrains Research (AI4SE) and Meta (FUSE lab). She is also the scientific manager for the TU Delft/JetBrains Collaboration, AI4SE. Mali has co-organized the First International workshop on Autonomous Agents in Software Engineering (AgenticSE) in Seoul, Nov 2025 (co-located with ASE’25).
Her research focuses on enhancing software development tools through building smarter software and tailoring machine learning and NLP techniques to source code. Currently, she is working on the challenges of building and tailoring LLMs and autonomous agents to source code, such as evals, model memorization, IDE integration, and in-IDE Human-AI interaction.
