About Me
Hi! I’m Michael, a PhD student at the University of Passau in algorithmic game theory under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Tobias Harks. I study various variants of traffic assignment problems with a game theoretical perspective. I am particularly interested in analyzing dynamic models, i.e., models that capture the interaction of traffic flow at different times of a day, as well as multi-modal traffic infrastructure.

Machine-Learned Prediction Equilibrium for Dynamic Traffic AssignmentSep, 2021. Joint work with Lukas Graf, Tobias Harks, and Kostas Kollias.Abstract: We study a dynamic traffic assignment model, where agents base their instantaneous routing decisions on real-time delay predictions. We describe a general mathematical model which, in particular, includes the settings leading to IDE and DE. On the theoretical side we show existence of equilibrium solutions under some additional assumptions while on the practical side we implement a machine-learned predictor and compare it to other static predictors.

A Process Algebra for Link Layer ProtocolsApr, 2019. Joint work with Rob van Glabbeek and Peter Höfner.Abstract: We propose a process algebra for link layer protocols, featuring a unique mechanism for modelling frame collisions. We also formalise suitable liveness properties for link layer protocols specified in this framework. To show applicability we model and analyse two versions of the Carrier-Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) protocol. Our analysis confirms the hidden station problem for the version without virtual carrier sensing. However, we show that the version with virtual carrier sensing not only overcomes this problem, but also the exposed station problem with probability 1. Yet the protocol cannot guarantee packet delivery, not even with probability 1.
