The purpose of this fellowship is to provide paradigm-shifting research on cooperative game theory as well as to address fundamental challenges in operational research. The PI will also apply the research findings to novel applications such as to enable a more stable LINK network of banks by providing a fair cost sharing mechanism to the LINK members on their shared ATM network. The EPSRC provides funding to cover the 90% of the PI time for the period of 5 years to solely focus on research (value: £523,037). It is EPSRC expectation that the PI will emerge as a world-leader in his field by the end of the fellowship.
