Biography

Hi, I’m Ivan Jureta, thank you for visiting. I’m a Senior Director at STEMCELL Technologies, the 30-year old Canadian biotech, and Chercheur qualifié honoraire du F.R.S.-FNRS with the Belgian National Research Fund.

I’m a former tenured professor at University of Namur (Belgium) and was a co-founder of JTT, a management consultancy, b92.fm, a music streaming service, BStorm, a digital transformation consultancy, and Hilbert Paradox, a healthcare data management and governance platform.

I hold a PhD in economics and management. I authored and co-authored 90+ peer reviewed research publications, most of which are available on this website (also via Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, and DBLP), and two peer-reviewed books, “Analysis and Design of Advice” and “The Design of Requirements Modelling Languages“, both with Springer, and available on Amazon.

I used to do research at the Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto and the Department of information engineering and computer science at the University of Trento, in both cases with John Mylopoulos and Alex Borgida (affiliated with Rutgers), as well as briefly at The Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, in Katia Sycara’s group. At the University of Namur, I used to work mainly with Stephane Faulkner and Pierre-Yves Schobbens. I studied at Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain), The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), and University of Namur.

I remain interested in the problem of minimal governance of decisions that involve people and/or software agents. This was and will continue to be a relevant interdisciplinary topic with a new twist now that multi-agent systems are moving to large scale applications via LLMs.
