Short Bio

Lauri Fabrice, 41 years old, received his PhD thesis in Computer Science from the "Université de Nancy 2" in 2004. He has been an Associate Professor at the "Université de Technologie de Belfort-Montbéliard" (UTBM) since September 2006. He leads his research at the "Institut de Recherche sur les Transports, l’Énergie, et la Société" (IRTES-SeT) in Belfort, France.

His research focus on solving optimization problems in Multi-Agent Systems, that is systems involving several autonomous entities. Metaheuristics inspired from nature, like ant colony algorithms or evolutionary algorithms, and machine learning algorithms, especially those from Reinforcement Learning, are part of his favorite techniques for solving such problems.

Research Interest

• Sequential Decision Problems
• Coordination in Multi-Agent Systems
• Numerical and Combinatorial Optimization
• Machine Learning (Reinforcement Learning in particular)
