My dissertation deals with the coalition formation problem. In most of the work on coalition formation, it is assumed that the value of a coalition only depends on the members present in the coalition. I am interesting in valuation function which depends on the behavior of other agents in the population and in particular, in fair payoff distribution. I am also interested in Learning in multiagent system, though it will not be part of my dissertation.

I defended my dissertation "Forming Efficient Agent Coalitions for Endogenous Coalition Structures" in August 2007. I am going to work at RMIT with Lin Padgham in Melbourne in October.
