Bio:

Dr. 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 Sofwater 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. Lastly, she is also the scientific manager for the TU Delft/JetBrains Collaboration, AI4SE.

Maliheh’s 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 large language models (LLMs) and autonomous agents to source code, such as evaluation, benchmarking, model memorization, IDE integration, in-IDE Human-AI interaction, and extending models’ capabilities to low-resource programming languages.

If you work on similar areas, please consider attending the First International workshop on Autonomous Agents in Software Engineering (AgenticSE) in Seoul, on November 20th, 2025 (co-located with ASE’25).
