Computational Social Choice Group
We carry out research in Computational Social Choice,
broadly conceived, as well as in Multiagent Systems, Knowledge Representation, and Artificial Intelligence more generally,
and belong to the Theoretical Computer Science
research unit at the ILLC. The group regularly meets at the
Computational Social Choice Seminar.
Check out this flyer for an impression of what we do.

We also were involved in COST Action IC0602 on Algorithmic Decision Theory (2007-2011), which provided funding for networking amongst researchers in AI and decision analysis in Europe, and in the GloriClass research training site for Logic and Games at the ILLC (2006-2010). Individual group members furthermore have been supported by a variety of grant schemes, including two FWF Schrödinger Fellowships, a fellowship from the Guangzhou Elite Project, and an AgreenSkills Fellowship.
