SCHOLARLY AND PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES Areas of special interest and accomplishments My research has mainly contributed to the theory and applications of decision-making in a dynamic environment with one or more decision makers. It can be organized around three main themes: Partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDP): general and special cases Dynamic games and principal-agent problems: theory and applications Other information and incentive problems in operations management Research or equivalent grants (indicate under COMP whether grants were obtained competitively (C) or non-competitively (NC)) Granting Subject COMP $ Year Principal Co-Investigator(s) Agency Per Year Investigator NSERC New Algorithms and Analyses for Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes C 22,000 2014-2019 Hao Zhang None UBC Sauder Partially observable markov decision processes: Analyses through a new approach NC 8,000 2013-2014 Hao Zhang Research or equivalent contracts (indicate under COMP whether grants were obtained competitively (C) or non-competitively (NC).
