I’m currently Postdoctoral Research Associate at The Alan Turing Institute and Associate Member of the Department of Computer Science at the University of Oxford, advised by Marta Kwiatkowska and Lukasz Szpruch. I did my PhD at the University of Oslo, supervised by Christos Dimitrakakis (yet to defend), and previously studied Mathematics at the University of Münster.
My research interests broadly span topics in reinforcement learning and algorithmic game theory. I’m especially interested in problems connecting these two areas such as learning in games and online mechanism design under uncertainty.
