This PhD position at the University of Southampton investigates the application of advanced AI tools and research techniques to evaluate industrial collaboration opportunities and policy incentives within the circular economy. The project is supervised by Vahid Yazdanpanah and will utilize methods such as algorithmic game theory, AI-supported mechanism design, and agent-based simulation to address challenges in sustainable development and resource management. The research aims to develop computational models that can inform decision-making for industries and policymakers, promoting more effective collaboration and incentive structures that support circular economy principles.

The successful candidate will join a dynamic research environment focused on interdisciplinary approaches to sustainability, artificial intelligence, and economic modeling. The position offers the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research at the intersection of AI, economics, and environmental science, with potential impact on industrial practices and policy formulation.
