Part 1: Dynamics of Strategic Agents and Algorithms as PDEs

Franca Hoffmann, California Institute of Technology

   17.12.2024

   4:00 pm - 5:30 pm

   Senatssaal, LMU Munich Geschwister-Scholl-Platz 1 Munich

We are thrilled to invite you to the upcoming Munich AI Lecture featuring two distinguished researchers Prof. Holger Hoos from RWTH Aachen University and Prof. Franca Hoffmann from California Institute of Technology. The lecture is organized by the Chair of Mathematics of Information Processing with support by MCML.

In the first talk, Franca Hoffmann will explore how to understand and predict the complex dynamics that emerge when algorithms interact with strategic populations. She will present a game-theoretic framework for infinite-dimensional games, modeled through coupled partial differential equations, to capture these interactions.

About Franca Hoffmann

Franca Hoffmann obtained her master’s in mathematics from Imperial College London (UK) and holds a PhD from the Cambridge Centre for Analysis at University of Cambridge (UK). She held the position of von Kármán instructor at Caltech from 2017 to 2020, then joined University of Bonn (Germany) as Bonn Junior Professor and Quantum Leap Africa in Kigali, Rwanda (African Institute for Mathematical Sciences) as AIMS-Carnegie ResearchChair in Data Science, before arriving at the California Institute of Technology as Assistant Professor in 2022.
