Cosin's Hall

Abstract

Our cities and environment face unprecedented challenges - from traffic congestion to climate change, renewable energy integration, and efficient resource allocation. But what if we could use mathematical tools inspired by game theory to help address these pressing issues? This lecture explores how "Mean-Field Games," a mathematical framework that models the collective behavior of large populations, can help us design smarter cities, optimize renewable energy systems, and develop effective environmental policies. We'll discover how these mathematical models can predict and shape human behavior in crowds, guide electric vehicle charging strategies to support clean energy adoption and inform carbon trading markets. Using real-world examples and accessible explanations, we will explore how mathematical research at the intersection of game theory, economics, and environmental science is helping pave the way toward a more sustainable future.

 

This lecture is free and open to all. Registration is not required to attend in person.
