Anna Gautier

Anna Gautier is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Chalmers University of Technology, affiliated with the Division of Data Science and AI. Her research focuses on multi-agent systems, planning under uncertainty, and game theory with applications in robotics.

She holds a PhD from the University of Oxford (2023), an MSc in Applied Mathematics from the London School of Economics, and dual undergraduate degrees (BA in Mathematics and BS in Computer Science) from Washington University in St. Louis.

Her work centers on risk-aware planning for multi-agent systems using Markov Decision Processes and mechanism design, with key applications in multi-robot coordination and human-robot interaction where trust dynamics and risk behavior are critical.

Recent publications demonstrate advancements in contingency planning for autonomous vehicles, resource allocation under constraints, and quadratic voting mechanisms, bridging theoretical foundations with practical robotics challenges.

She is recognized with the following honors:

• ELLIS Society Member (2025)
• Digital Futures Postdoctoral Fellow at KTH Royal Institute of Technology

Dr. Gautier serves as co-chair for the ECAI 2025 Demonstration Track and is establishing her research group at Chalmers with plans to recruit PhD students. Her work builds on prior contributions to the WASP-Nest Project (PerCorSo) and Vinnova Center (TECoSA) focusing on trustworthy autonomous systems.
