Dr Jan Buermann

Research Fellow (C-Centric AI Systems)
Research interests
  • My main interest is the design of fair AI systems which manage the diverging interests of self-interested agents for the efficient usage of resources under uncertainty.
  • I am particularly interested in fully including and considering agents' incentives relating to costs, participation, manipulation and fairness.
  • I am excited about working on problems that bridge fundamental and practical real-world applicable research, especially in connection to smart energy systems and net zero/decarbonisation.
