Research Interests:
Areas: Artificial Intelligence, Intelligent agents, Multiagent systems.

My research group focuses on intelligent agents and multi-agent systems. We are interested in domains where large numbers of agents (including software agents, robots and people) may interact. We focus on formal frameworks for reasoning about such multiagent systems, efficient algorithms that operate within such frameworks, and practical applications. For example, using fast algorithms to solve large problems cast in a game-theoretic framework, we are able to provide randomized schedules for police to guard important locations such as ports or airports. Indeed, our ARMOR program is deployed at the Los Angeles International Airport since 2007.

Other domains of interest include large scale disaster response, where robots, agents and people may collaborate for rescue or collaboration of small sensors as in mobile sensor nets.

Biographical Information:
Milind Tambe is a Professor of Computer Science at University of Southern California(USC). He received his Ph.D. from the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. He leads the TEAMCORE Research Group at USC, with research interests in multi-agent systems, specifically multi-agent and agent-human teamwork. He is a fellow of AAAI (Association for Advancement of Artificial Intelligence) and recipient of the ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) SIGART Agents Research award. He led a team of researchers at USC to design and deploy the ARMOR program, which led to a special commendation given by the Los Angeles World Airports police from the city of Los Angeles, as well as a certificate of recognition from the Department of Homeland Security University Programs. Dr. Tambe is also recipient of the Okawa foundation faculty research award, the RoboCup Scientific Challenge Award for oustanding research and the ACM recognition of service award; and his papers have been selected as best papers or finalists for best papers at premier agents conferences and workshops including ICMAS’98, Agents’99, AAMAS’02, AAMAS’03, CEEMAS’05, SASEMAS’05, DCR’07, CTS’08 and AAMAS’08. Playing a foundational role in the International Joint Conference on Agents and Multiagent Systems (AAMAS), he has previously served on the board of directors of the International Foundation for Agents and Multiagent Systems (IFMAS and IFAAMAS) and related steering committees, as well as general co-chair of AAMAS (2004).
