Arastun Mammadli

I am a first-year PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Exeter, supervised by Prof. Shiqiang Wang. I am also a Research Assistant 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.

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.

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.
