Research Profile
My PhD research was about combining multi-agent logic and game theory with my main background, computer science. Before, I did my MSc in the area of neural-symbolic integration, translating logic programs into trainable artificial neural networks.
My current research interests revolve around artificial agents and multi-agent systems, covering the range from formal methods (game theory, interactive logics, especially multi-agent epistemic logic) to applications within artificial intelligence. In particular, I’m working towards enabling artificial agents to model each other and reason about each other as they interact. While I appreciate computers as number-crunching machines exceeding humans in specialized tasks, currently I see the challenge in simulating convincing “human-like” social behavior.
Besides these subjects, my spare-time passion is linguistics and real-world languages. When studying languages, time and again, empirical observations and initial theories of my own make me delve into comparative linguistics, etymology, phonology and other topics, and I wonder if some day this hobby should become part of my work.
