Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBernhard Von Stengel is a mathematical game theorist and Professor of Mathematics at the London School of Economics, where he has taught and led research since 1998 and became Head of Department in 2023. He combines deep theoretical expertise in computational game theory and equilibrium algorithms with a strong background in mathematics and computer science, holding a summa cum laude doctorate and an MSc from UT Austin. His research trajectory includes Heisenberg Fellowships at ETH Zurich and Tilburg and postdoctoral work at ICSI, focusing on polyhedral theory for equilibria and algorithmic methods for finding game-theoretic solutions. Known for bridging rigorous theory and algorithmic practice, he has contributed to the foundations of equilibrium computation across mathematics and theoretical computer science. Based in London, he brings over two decades of academic leadership and sustained research impact rather than a heavy open-source footprint. Colleagues value his blend of formal rigor, algorithmic insight, and commitment to mentoring the next generation of theorists.
