Herbert Hamers

Herbert Hamers is a Full Professor of Game Theory and Operations Research at Tilburg University's Department of Econometrics and Operations Research. His research integrates game theory with operations research problems, focusing on applications in network optimization, opinion dynamics, and environmental economics.

Research Focus: Develops mathematical models for influence networks, cost allocation in environmental projects, and optimization in strategic decision-making contexts. Recent work examines precision targeting in information spaces and multi-actor infrastructure planning.

Key Contributions:

• Game-theoretic analysis of opinion formation in networks
• Multi-actor cost allocation models for carbon capture infrastructure
• Climate impact assessment on agricultural systems

Teaching: Offers courses on real options theory, investment under uncertainty, and professional analytics skills at graduate level.
