I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Industrial and Management Systems Engineering at the University of South Florida. My research focuses on multi-agent autonomous systems, game theory, optimization, and reinforcement learning, with a particular interest in designing algorithms that enable cooperation, resilience, and efficiency in complex networked environments.
Prior to joining USF, I was a postdoctoral scholar at Harvard University and Arizona State University, where I worked on trustworthy and resilient consensus problems with Drs. Angelia Nedich and Stephanie Gil. I completed my Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering at Texas A&M University under the supervision of Dr. Ceyhun Eksin, where my research centered on game-theoretical learning.
I am recruiting motivated PhD students to join my research group at the University of South Florida. Students with strong backgrounds in probability, optimization, control, or reinforcement learning, and solid programming skills are encouraged to apply. Full funding (stipend, tuition waiver, and health insurance) is available. To apply, please email your CV, transcripts, and a brief research statement to sarperaydin@usf.edu.
