Prestigious NWO grant and Fulbright Fellowship for ERIM/LARGE research visitor Amy Greenwald

Dr. Amy Greenwald, Associate Professor at Brown University, Rhode Island, USA, who currently spends her sabbatical (from January to August) at ERIM’s Learning Agent Research Group at Erasmus (LARGE), has just received an NWO research visitor grant and the prestigious Fulbright Fellowship.

Dr. Greenwald was granted these awards for the research on bidder decision support systems at the Dutch Flower Auctions. She works together at ERIM with <link people wolfgang-ketter _blank>Wolf Ketter, <link people yixin-lu _blank>Yixin Lu, and <link people eric-van-heck _blank>Eric van Heck, and brought along her two PhD students Eric Sodomka and Jordan Berg.

In addition the research team currently creates a unique fully-autonomous and mixed-initiative (humans in the loop) simulation of the DFA. The plan is that this DFA simulation will become part of the Trading Agent Competition over the next few years.

Wolf Ketter is currently the chair of the Association for Trading Agent Research. At ERIM Jeroen Ruigrok is working on the development of the agent-assisted human decision-making simulation. First experiments on how auction speed influences seller revenue are planned to take place at the <link erim research erim_research_facilities _blank>Erasmus Behavioral Lab in April.
