Long Tran-Thanh
Prof. Long Tran-Thanh develops mathematical foundations for multi-agent systems, combining game theory with collaborative and strategic AI.
Professional profileLong Tran‑Thanh is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Warwick, where he also serves as Deputy Head of Department and Director of Research. In addition, he chairs Warwick’s Interdisciplinary Research Spotlight in Digital and plays an active role in the wider AI community as an Associate Editor of Artificial Intelligence, the field’s flagship journal, as well as Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (JAAMAS).
His research focuses on the foundations of Artificial Intelligence, particularly on understanding and designing large‑scale systems made up of many autonomous and complex agents—whether they are AI systems or human users. He is especially interested in how these agents interact: how they collaborate to solve difficult real‑world problems, and how they behave strategically when their goals are not aligned.
To study these questions, Professor Tran‑Thanh brings together ideas from online learning and decision‑making, game theory, and multi‑agent systems. His work provides the mathematical tools needed to analyze and design intelligent systems that can operate effectively in complex, interactive environments.
