Research Area

POSTECH IME SEA Lab. aims to provide better decision-making strategies for several types of stakeholders based on the better understanding of future dynamics in complex systems and interactions among stakeholders. Our approaches are mainly based on various techniques from optimization, stochastic process, and also economics.

Particularly, we have been conducting researches about “Business Operation Design” and “Sequential/Multi-agent Decision System Operation” based on (1) Optimization models under uncertainty (stochastic programming, robust optimization),  (2) sequential decision process models (dynamic programming, reinforcement learning), and (3) multi-agent system models (game theory, multi-agent learning).
