Mohaddeseh Tabrizian

Mohaddeseh Tabrizian is a graduate student in computer science and a research assistant at DFKI, the German Research Center for AI, with a focus on computer vision and natural language processing. After studying computer science at the University of Tabriz from 2016 to 2021, they began master's studies at RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau in 2023. In May 2025, they co-authored an arXiv paper showing that story-based priming changes how LLM agents negotiate in a public goods game; the work was presented at NETGCOOP 2025 and published by Springer in 2026. They taught at RPTU as a lecturer in December 2025 and as a workshop instructor in March 2026. In DFKI's Data Science and its Applications group, they work as a research assistant and own an LLM-based document-understanding tool used by an industry partner.

Timeline

  1. 2016–2021

    BSc at the University of Tabriz

    They study computer science at the University of Tabriz from 2016 to 2021 and earn a BSc.

  2. Since 2023

    Master's studies at RPTU

    They begin master's studies in computer science at RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau in 2023. Their thesis, Optimized DNN Inference via LLM-Guided Evolutionary Search, uses an LLM as a mutator for hardware-aware neural network optimization.

  3. May 2025

    Narrative priming for LLM agents

    They co-author an arXiv paper, submitted in May 2025, on whether shared stories can nudge LLM agents toward collaboration in a finitely repeated public goods game. The experiments show that story-based priming significantly affects negotiation strategies and success rates, and that common stories improve collaboration.

  4. 2025–2026

    Paper at NETGCOOP 2025

    The work is presented at NETGCOOP 2025 and at the 1st International Electronic Conference on Games. Springer publishes it in 2026 as "The Power of Stories: Narrative Priming in Networked Multi-Agent LLM Interactions" in Lecture Notes in Computer Science, volume 16173.

  5. December 2025–March 2026

    Teaching generative AI at RPTU

    They lecture on RAG and knowledge graphs in RPTU's Engineering with Generative AI course in December 2025 and instruct the Coding with Generative AI workshop in March 2026. They also serve as a teaching assistant for the course, which has more than 200 students.

  6. As of October 2026

    Research assistant at DFKI

    They work as a research assistant at DFKI, the German Research Center for AI, in the Data Science and its Applications group, with a focus on computer vision and natural language processing. They build a key information extraction pipeline that lifts F1 by about 15 percentage points over the prior baseline, and they own an LLM-based document-understanding tool used by an industry partner.

From the biography.

  1. Nonprofit roles are 2.3 times as common in AI safetyIncludes DFKI. We estimate where people focused on safety, alignment and evaluation work. Nonprofit roles appear for 25.1% of safety people with known affiliations, compared with 11.0% in other areas.
  2. The top 10 organizations employed 22% of people shaping AI in 2025: 51% of company researchers and 21% of university researchersIncludes DFKI. We estimate the share of people shaping AI who worked at the top 10 organizations each year from 1955 to 2025, comparing concentration across companies, universities, and institutes and labs.
  3. The United States employs an estimated 48% of people shaping AIIncludes DFKI. We estimate where the people shaping AI work today, how universities, companies and research institutes split across countries, and how country shares have changed since the 1960s.
  4. More people shaping AI studied at Massachusetts Institute of Technology than at any other institutionIncludes DFKI. We estimate where the people shaping AI studied and where their careers led. Massachusetts Institute of Technology leads with 467 former students, including 291 recorded doctorates.
