Research Statement:

My main interest is in solving problems which are distributed by nature. Recent advances in technologies have resulted in many real world applications, which do not reside on a single machine and require a number of processes (agents) to collaborate in order to solve them (e.g., IOT applications). When agents are cooperative, these problems can be solved by Distributed Constraints Reasoning methods, which find solutions while avoiding data centralization. When the agents are self interested, there is a need to incentivise them to perform cooperatively and participate in the solving process. I believe that people are never either completely cooperative or non-cooperative, and thus, part of my efforts are in designing partial cooperative models to capture natural human behaviors by agents, and algorithms for solving them.
