Short Bio

Professor Georgios Chalkiadakis (Phd University of Toronto, 2007) is a faculty member of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at the Technical University of Crete (TUC) since Μarch 2011. Prior to this, he was (2007-2011) a Research Fellow at the School of Electronics and Computer Science at the University of Southampton, UK. After joining TUC, Georgios has paid research visits or spent sabbatical time at IIIA-CSIC (ES), Université Paris-Dauphine (FR), and the Università di Verona (IT). Georgios' research interests research interests lie mainly in the area of Multiagent Systems (MAS) - and more specifically on decision making under uncertainty and reinforcement learning in MAS environments; coalition formation and cooperation in MAS; and cooperative game theory. He is a co-author of the graduate level textbook “Computational Aspects of Cooperative Game Theory” (Morgan and Claypool, 2011). He has so far (Sept. 2025) also co-authored 4 book chapters in scientific collections, and more than 100 peer-reviewed research papers in journals and conferences in his areas of expertise (several of which have received awards or award nominations); moreover, he has served as an editor in 3 scientific collections or journal special issues. He has so far graduated 3 PhD, 11 MSc, and more than 50 MEng-level students. He has extensive teaching experience in Greece and abroad, including 7 invited tutorials in venues such as AAMAS and IJCAI. Georgios has participated in 17 national or European research projects, and is currently (2025) the PI of DEEP-REBAYES, a basic AI research project on intertwining deep reinforcement learning, Bayesian learning, and game theory, which is funded by the Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation.

Georgios has served in the Editorial Board of the Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research (JAIR), and in several reviewing roles in various journals and conferences. Between 2019-2022 he served as the Deputy Chair and then the Chair of the European Association for Multi-Agent Systems (EURAMAS). Between 2015 and 2019 Georgios served as the General Secretary of the Hellenic Artificial Intelligence Society (EETN).
