Piotr Gmytrasiewicz

Piotr Gmytrasiewicz is an Associate Professor at the Department of Computer Science, University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). He leads the Multiagent Systems Group within the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at UIC.

His research focuses on rationality in artificial agents, particularly in environments with multiple interacting agents. Key areas include

• Interactive Decision-Making
• Bayesian Modeling for Agent Communication
• Recursive Belief Frameworks
• Time Pressure and Computational Trade-offs
• Evolution of Agent Communication Languages
• Dynamic Resource Allocation

His recent work examines the rationality of insincere communication and methods to discount potentially insincere information. Past projects include modeling emotions in agent design and developing decision-theoretic approaches to game theory.

He has secured funding from prestigious institutions such as the National Science Foundation (NSF), Office of Naval Research (ONR), and DARPA. Current and past projects emphasize

• Automated Linguistic Competence Evolution
• Emergent Communication Protocols
• Scalable Multiagent Learning
• Strategic Coordination under Uncertainty

He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (1992) and has previously collaborated with the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at the University of Texas at Arlington on DARPA-funded research.
