Interests
Pedro Alexandre Simões dos Santos is Associate Professor in a Joint Appoitment with the Mathematics and the Computer Science Departments of IST. His numerous scientific interests include:
- Artificial Intelligence, namely its application to the creation of socially intelligent agents, to the law interpretation, and to games;
- Machine Learning, also in what regards its Mathematical foundations
- Game Theory and its applications to games and multi-agent systems
- Operator Theory and Banach Algebras, and its application to numerical analysis
- Game Design, how to represent a determined situation in an elegant way with the right choice of Mechanics.
- History, which is more like a hobby...
