Biography
Michael Kaisers investigates strategies and mechanisms for strategic interactions with both cooperative and competitive elements, inspired by applications in energy systems, trading in markets and negotiations. He has published more than 40 research articles in computer science, on the intersection of artificial intelligence and game theory, and now leads and contributes to European joint research projects, having acquired more than 1 million Euro in funding for work on multi-agent reinforcement learning, evolutionary dynamics, and efficient flexibility allocation in smart energy systems.
