Advances in Dynamic Games

Guiomar Martín-Herrán is currently Full Professor of quantitative methods for economics and business at University of Valladolid, Spain. She graduated in mathematics in 1988 and earned her Ph.D. in economics from the University of Valladolid in 1993. Her primary research interests include applications of dynamic optimization, mainly optimal control, and differential games, to the study of economic, management, and environmental problems. She has undertaken numerous research stays as Visiting Researcher at foreign research centers. Among these visits, the one carried out as Guest Researcher at Group for Research in Decision Analysis (GERAD), Montreal, Canada, for two years stands out. She is currently Member of the executive committee of the International Society of Dynamic Games and Associate Editor of “Dynamic Games and Applications,” “Journal of Dynamic and Games,” and “International Game Theory Review.” She was awarded the Social Council Award of University of Valladolid 2020 in recognition of her academic career.Arne Traulsen is Director at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology in Plön, Germany (a town with a high relative abundance of scientists). He studied geophysics and physics in Kiel, Göteborg, and Leipzig and finished his doctorate in 2005 at Kiel University on a topic from Evolutionary Game Theory. After a Postdoc at Harvard University from 2005 to 2007, he built up an Independent Emmy Noether Research Group at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology. Since 2014, he has been Director and Scientific Member there. He is Adjunct Professor in mathematics at Lübeck University and Adjunct Professor in biology at Kiel University. He is interested in evolutionary game theory, the role of population structure in evolution, the evolution of cancer, and the interactions within microbial populations.Florian Wagener is Associate Professor at University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. He graduated in technical mechanics in 1993 and mathematics in 1994 and took his Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Groningen in 1998. After a stay as Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Warwick, he joined the Center for Nonlinear Dynamics in Economics and Finance (CeNDEF) at the University of Amsterdam. He works on bifurcation theory and complex economic dynamics: in the latter field, he has written on heterogeneous agent models, rationality, optimal management, especially of natural resources, and differential games; in the former, on persistence and bifurcations of quasi-periodic invariant tori. He is currently President of the International Society of Dynamic Games and associate editor of “Dynamic Games and Applications.”
