Guido Schäfer
I joined the Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization (PNA1) group at CWI as a senior researcher in January 2009.
Within the research theme "Societal Logistics", which constitutes one of the institute's four principal research themes for the coming years, CWI plans to broaden its activities in algorithmic game theory. I am one of the coordinators of the Algorithmic Game Theory project within PNA1.
I am holding a full professorship (part-time) at the Department of Econometrics and Operations Research, Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.
My main research interests are
- Algorithmic Game Theory
- Combinatorial Optimization
- Algorithms
