I am a Ph.D. student working at the CoMo lab on a 4-year research project sponsored by the IWT.

• Exercises for "Multi-Agent Learning"

My research is located in the fields of Mechanism Design and Collective Intelligence, which “coincidentally” match my interests as well.

The working title of my dissertation is: Distributed Collaboration Using Multi-Agent System Architectures (DiCoMAS). The goal of this project is to provide a reusable software architecture that supports the development of applications for automated collaboration between business processes. My research focuses on the implementation of Distributed Mechanism Design to Supply-Chain Management.

As a second track, I apply Mechanism Design and Collective Intelligence to Wireless Sensor Networks with the aim to increase the autonomous lifetime of the network and decrease its latency in a decentralized manner, through learning.

Research topics: Mechanism Design, Collective Intelligence, Supply-Chain Management, (Evolutionary) Game Theory, Reinforcement Learning, Wireless Sensor Networks.
