Professor Dr. Anastasia Bizyaeva

Biography

Dr. Bizyaeva joined the Cornell MAE faculty as an assistant professor in July 2024. She was previously a Postdoctoral Scholar at the AI Institute for Dynamic Systems at the University of Washington. Dr. Bizyaeva received her Ph.D. in mechanical and aerospace engineering from Princeton University in September 2022, and her B.A. in physics with a minor in mechanical engineering from the University of California, Berkeley in 2016. Her research program at Cornell explores mathematical connections in collectively intelligent behavior in biological and social systems, as well as the design of autonomous, artificially intelligent behaviors in engineered teams. Drawing on her expertise in dynamical systems and control theory, she investigates new data-driven and first-principles approaches for modeling complex systems, as well as the development of new multi-agent control approaches for swarm autonomy that combine biological inspiration with mathematical rigor. Her work is highly interdisciplinary, engaging collaborations with experts across a variety of fields, including biology, social psychology, and robotics.
