Stefan Heidekrüger is a Senior Machine Learning Researcher and full-stack AI engineer with a decade of experience building production GenAI applications and research-driven RL solutions, currently leading ML efforts at Buynomics after guiding internal GenAI platforms at Munich Re. He holds a PhD candidacy from TUM where his research bridged deep and multi-agent reinforcement learning with market design and algorithmic game theory, studying equilibria and incentive structures in n-player incomplete-information games. Stefan combines strong applied engineering (production ML, predictive maintenance, large-scale analytics) with rigorous theoretical work, and has taught and co-developed large university courses in business analytics and machine learning. He has a track record across industry and academia—Telefónica, SAP, Helmholtz—and experience shipping systems in Scala/Spark, Python, and statistical toolchains. Notably, his research emphasizes computability of strategic behavior via self-play, an angle that informs both his product-led GenAI work and academic output.
