This page is meant to share course materials of some of my previous classes.

Modeling Human Behavior (IT:U, Summer 2026)

As part of the Project-Integrated Course (PIC) Modeling Human Behavior in the master specialization Designing Interactions, I teach five classes on game theory. This is an ongoing class. Here is the material for the first three classes, providing an overview on game theory (pdf), on elimination of dominated actions (pdf) and on Nash equilibria (pdf). In addition, here is the question catalogue (pdf).

Research Methodology (IT:U, Winter 2026)

As part of the Project-Integrated Course (PIC) Research Methodology for the PhD students at IT:U, I taught a 4h class on the basics of inferential statistics, focussing on hypothesis testing and parameter estimation (pdf).

Foundations and Methods 2 (IT:U, Fall 2025)

As part of the course Foundations and Methods 2 for Master students at IT:U, I gave a 3h class on probability theory and how it is used to do inferential statistics (pdf).

A teaser to Game Theory (IT:U, Fall 2025)

As a part of the Project-Integrated Course (PIC) on Machine Learning and NLP for the PhD students at IT:U, I gave a very brief intro to game theory (pdf).

Research Methodology (IT:U, Spring 2025)

I taught two morning sessions for the Project-Integrated Course (PIC) on Research Methodology for the PhD students at IT:U. The classes covered the basics of the scientific research process (Part 1) and research design (Part 2). In addition, there are three more classes taught by Jie Mei.

Introduction to Game Theory (IT:U, Spring 2025)

As part of the Project-Integrated Course (PIC) on Analyzing Human Behavior, targeted at PhD students at IT:U, I delivered a 2-day class on game theory (on May 8-9, 2025). The class aimed to give a gentle introduction to game theory with a minimum of mathematical formalism. There were three theoretical blocks, covering the basics (Part 1), evolutionary game theory (Part 2), and more advanced games (Part 3). In addition, there was a block on experimental game theory, done by Adile Yasar.

Introduction to Evolutionary Game Theory (ICTS, Spring 2025)

As part of the Workshop Decisions, Games, and Evolution, held at ICTS Bangalore, I gave four 2h-classes on evolutionary game theory. The classes targeted an audience of PhD students and of junior Post-Docs. They covered a basic introduction (Part 1), direct reciprocity (Part 2), indirect reciprocity (Part 3), and some current research topics (Part 4). The workshop was fantastic, thanks to the organizers for inviting me.
