Vidi grant for Ming Cao
Prof Dr Ming Cao, academic staff member of the Discrete Technology & Production Automation-group of ENTEG, obtained a prestigious Dutch research fellowship (VIDI) from the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (STW-NWO). He will receive 800.000 euros for his research proposal "An evolutionary approach to coordination of self-interested agents".
Robot and sensor networks, distributed energy grids and many facets of society can be modelled as complex networks of agents making self-interested decisions that often conflict with group objectives. Ming Cao will seek methods for coordinating these networks and ultimately resolving such social dilemmas through a closely-coupled approach of theory and experimentation.
