Ioannis Panageas

Ioannis Panageas is an Assistant Professor in Computer Science at UC Irvine's Donald Bren School, directing the GOALLab. His research develops theory for learning in multi-agent systems, game dynamics, and optimization. Funded by NSF and NRF, he focuses on last-iterate convergence guarantees in games, efficient equilibrium computation, and multi-agent reinforcement learning.

Recent Work: Provides first exponential lower bounds for fictitious play in potential games (NeurIPS 2023), efficient Nash equilibrium computation methods (ICLR 2023), and semi-bandit learning dynamics with no-regret guarantees (ICML 2023).

Teaching: Offers courses in Algorithmic Game Theory and Optimization for Machine Learning. Currently advising 3 PhD students and 2 MS students.
