Research
Han La Poutré is leader of the group Multi-agent and Adaptive Computation and head of the cluster Software Engineering. He is also full professor at Utrecht University. He was formerly affiliated with Princeton University, Utrecht University (KNAW Fellow), Eindhoven University (full professor), and Leiden University.
Han La Poutré focuses on adaptive decision making in multi-actor and uncertain environments. This comprises computational intelligence techniques and decentralized paradigms, like multi-agent systems and non-cooperative (economic) games. His research interests include the design of adaptive agent strategies and simulation systems in strategic economic games (like negotiation, repeated auctions, or market based planning) and optimization problems. He develops generic and enriched models as well as adaptive solutions for target problems in key application areas like smart electricity networks, health care and transportation logistics, and electronic markets. Han addresses this via a combination of fundamental and applicable research.
