Andreas Krause elected as new SATW member
Andreas Krause (D-INFK), Professor of Computer Science at ETH Zurich, has been appointed as a Full Member of the Swiss Academy of Engineering Sciences (SATW) in 2026 – in recognition of his pioneering research in artificial intelligence.
This year, the Swiss Academy of Engineering Sciences (SATW) has welcomed 16 new Full Members into its network, recognising outstanding achievements in research, innovation and technology transfer – from quantum technologies and sustainable energy systems to artificial intelligence and robotics. Among these distinguished individuals is Professor Andreas Krause, who conducts research and teaches at ETH Zurich.
The appointment of Andreas Krause honours his groundbreaking work in machine learning and adaptive systems, particularly his contributions to decision-making under uncertainty. His research bridges theoretical foundations and practical applications, providing significant impact for data-driven technologies in science and industry.
New members are elected in a secret ballot by SATW’s voting members, under the guidance of the Nomination Committee. With the current admissions, SATW now comprises 401 Full Members and 7 Honorary Members. The new members will be formally honoured at the SATW Annual Congress on 21 May 2026, where certificates will be presented.
Andreas Krause leads the Learning & Adaptive Systems Group in the Department of Computer Science at ETH Zurich. His research focuses on machine learning, adaptive systems, and decision-making under uncertainty and has received international recognition through numerous awards. He serves as Academic Co-Director of the Swiss Data Science Center, Chair of the ETH AI Center, and co-founder of the ETH spin-off LatticeFlow.
Before joining ETH Zurich, Krause was an Assistant Professor at Caltech. He earned his Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon University and studied computer science and mathematics at the Technical University of Munich. He is a Fellow of ACM, IEEE and ELLIS, and a Max-Planck Fellow. He has also received prestigious grants, including ERC Starting and Consolidator Grants as well as an NSF CAREER Award. His research has been repeatedly recognised at leading conferences, including multiple Test-of-Time Awards.
In addition to his research, Krause contributes to the scientific community through leadership roles at major conferences, including Program Co-Chair of ICML 2018 and General Chair of ICML 2023, as well as service on international advisory bodies in artificial intelligence.
