Carolina Centeio Jorge (pronunciation [kɐɾulˈinɐ] [sẽtˈɐju] [ʒˈɔɾʒɨ]) is a PhD candidate in the Interactive Intelligence group at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the Netherlands. Carolina's primary research interests are in behavior analysis and pattern recognition. Her PhD work focuses on mental models in the context of human-AI teams, with the goal of enabling artificial agents (e.g., robots) to understand their human teammates and respond to them transparently and effectively. Specifically, she has been investigating the concept of artificial trust in decision-making within human-AI teamwork, particularly in modeling context-dependent human trustworthiness for collaboration scenarios.

Carolina has been involved in several research collaborations, activities and committees. These include the creation of the MultiTTrust workshop series (counting on three editions), chairing the sponsorship of HRI Pioneers 2023, among others.

Within TU Delft, Carolina is part of the university's Integrity Board. Carolina was also a member of the EEMCS PhD Council (2022-2024), where she served as the council's Chair (2023 Jan-Dec), and secretary (2024 Jan-June).

Before her PhD, Carolina earned her Master's in Informatics and Computing Engineering from the University of Porto (FEUP) in 2019, while conducting research at the University of Porto, INESCTEC, and the University of Twente at different stages.

During her years in FEUP, she was a member and co-chair (2016-2017) of the IEEE University of Porto student branch and (re)founded and chaired the IEEE Women in Engineering (WiE) at the University of Porto. She was then vice-chair of IEEE WiE Portugal (2018), and the Programme Chair of the IEEE Students and Young Professionals (SYP) Congress 2018.

From 2019 to 2020, Carolina spent a year in Tokyo as part of the EU program Vulcanus in Japan, where she interned (computer vision and meta-learning) at Omron Sinic X Corporation.
