Arastun Mammadli
I am a doctoral student in Computer Science at the
University of Exeter,
supervised by Prof. Shiqiang Wang.
I am also a visiting researcher at the
UCL NLP Group,
working with Prof. Emine Yilmaz.
I hold a master's (Distinction) in Applied Computational Science and Engineering from
Imperial College London
and a BSc in Computer Science (Dean's List, top 5%) from the University of Exeter.
During my master's I interned at
Microsoft
and built a multi-agent multi-modal energy management system with Azure AI
(blog post).
My research goal is to make multi-model AI systems that involve many LLMs or agents work efficiently and reliably in practice.
I study how models and agents should be selected, composed, and coordinated under real-world constraints: including noisy and incomplete signals, and competitive dynamics.

Choosing LLMs for Strategic Agent Interactions
Arastun Mammadli, Herbert Woisetschläger, Jawad Fayaz, Shiqiang Wang
NeurIPS workshop on Foundations of Agentic Systems Theory (FAST), 2026
view
A growing share of deployers treat the inter-agent dynamics as a black box.
This makes it hard to build systems that remain capable, efficient, and reliable.
We investigate model selection under game-theoretic settings, and show that despite the
substantial selection headroom, off-the-shelf methods fail to beat the best fixed model.

AgentSearchBench: A Benchmark for AI Agent Search in the Wild

Open agent environments (GPT Store, Google Cloud Marketplace, AgentAI Network) are
crowded with overlapping, semantically opaque agents. We formalise the agent search problem as
finding the right agent under user objectives and constraints, and introduce a benchmark
over real, noisy, publicly available agents.

Cost-Optimal LLM Routing with Limited User Feedback under User Satisfaction Guarantees
Herbert Woisetschläger, Arastun Mammadli, Ryan Zhang, Shiqiang Wang
Preprint, Under Review, arXiv:2606.19376, 2026
arXiv
We extend cost-optimal LLM routing to the realistic limited-feedback setting.
Our router provides formal SLA guarantees (e.g. ≥60% task accuracy) once it
converges from online learning, closing the gap left by prior work
(MESS+, NeurIPS 2025)
which assumed full feedback.
